Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Sharon draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify their values and take committed action toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than avoid them. This approach can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical, skills-based method that identifies unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches strategies to change thoughts and behaviors that contribute to mood and relationship problems. CBT is often applied to anxiety, depression, and coping with change.

For couples and relationship work Sharon integrates elements of the Gottman Method, which focuses on improving communication, increasing understanding, and building conflict-resolution skills to strengthen partnerships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sharon collaborates with each person or couple to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time to support progress.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and also through live chat or text-based messaging when that format better suits a client. These options make it easier to schedule appointments around work, family, and daily life, and help connect with licensed professionals from a convenient location.
