Evidence-based approaches and online therapy options

Shari uses evidence-based techniques tailored to the issues a person brings to therapy. One common focus is trauma-informed work that helps people process painful experiences, reduce distress, and rebuild a sense of safety and control. This approach supports those coping with abuse, post-traumatic stress, grief, and other trauma-related concerns.

She also employs skills-based interventions that teach practical coping tools such as emotion regulation, stress management, and relapse prevention. These techniques are useful for anxiety, depression, addiction recovery, and everyday life challenges where new strategies can improve functioning and well-being.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Shari partners with clients to identify goals, consider preferences, and adjust methods so the work fits each person or family's needs. She helps clients experiment with strategies and choose what feels most effective.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging makes it easier to access consistent care around busy schedules and life demands. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, allow therapy to continue across life changes, and let clients connect with licensed professionals from locations that work for them.
