Sharon Carroll, LPC, LPCC

Sharon Carroll brings 18 years of clinical experience helping people and couples reshape lives that no longer match their hopes. She works with individuals who feel a part of themselves has been lost - whether through relationship struggles, grief, career shifts, or painful life changes - and helps them reclaim a sense of meaning, connection, and personal value. Sharon creates a warm, nonjudgmental space where people can be heard, understood, and supported as they identify goals and take practical steps toward healing.

Her work spans relationship and family concerns, grief and loss, self-esteem, coping with life transitions, stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting and fatherhood issues, anger, career challenges, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses attachment and abandonment wounds, blended family dynamics, caregiving stress, codependency, communication and control issues, divorce and separation, and forgiveness. Sharon varies her clinical approach to match what resonates with each person or couple and to support progress toward individualized goals.

Sharon meets with male and female clients individually as well as with couples from varied ages, sexual orientations, and religious backgrounds. She has led groups focused on grief, careers in transition, and the Daring Way - an approach based on the research of Brené Brown about vulnerability and shame resilience. Her formal education includes an MA in Psychology from Houston Christian University, an MBA from Rice University, and a BS in Business Administration from the University of Southern California. She is also a Certified Life Coach and holds LPC and LPCC licensure, which are professional counseling credentials that indicate formal training and supervised clinical practice. Sharon looks forward to meeting people who want to reimagine their lives and build greater resilience for the road ahead.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care Options

Sharon often draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early bonds and attachment patterns shape current relationship dynamics and emotional responses - this approach helps people address abandonment, attachment injury, and relational disconnection. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help couples and individuals identify and express underlying emotions that drive conflict and distance, supporting the repair of emotional bonds and greater intimacy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another tool she applies to help clients notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, stress, and coping difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sharon collaborates with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds so the treatment feels personalized and practical.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow clients to access care from home or work and to choose the format that suits their schedule and comfort level. Licensed professionals can deliver meaningful therapeutic work through these modalities, making it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions and busy periods.
