Online support

How Sharon’s approaches translate to online therapy

Sharon often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely and shaping sessions around each person’s own priorities. This approach helps people who need a supportive space to sort through feelings and decide what matters most to them.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical method that identifies unhelpful thoughts and tests new behaviors. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it breaks problems into manageable steps and teaches clear skills to practice between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sharon discusses goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past, then collaborates to pick methods that match those needs. That shared decision-making can change as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and demonstrations, phone sessions can fit a tight schedule or lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting work, parenting, or other responsibilities into a week.
