About Sharon

Sharon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, with 25 years of experience, and she works with concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, grief, and relationship or intimacy issues.
Background and approach
She also addresses stress from caregiving, chronic illness, body image, and life transitions. Sessions aim to reduce immediate distress while building skills for long-term coping. Her style is client-centered and strengths based.
She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change unhelpful patterns and act in line with their values.

Outside of work she is a parent of a young adult veteran, enjoys hiking and the beach, and shares her home with two dogs and a cat.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it works well for anxiety, mood concerns, and sleep or eating issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first based on their goals and what feels most helpful. That way therapy stays flexible and focused on small, usable changes rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different needs. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skills demonstration. Phone sessions take less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or messaging can support shorter check-ins, journaling between sessions, or ongoing skill practice. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules and life responsibilities.
