Sharon Overfelt, LPC

Sharon Overfelt, MA, LPC, is a licensed mental health professional who helps adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She holds an MA - a Master of Arts degree - and is an LPC, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, a credential that reflects her clinical training and licensure in Texas. Sharon brings advanced training in the Hakomi method, a mindfulness-based, body-centered approach that blends somatic awareness with gentle inquiry to support deeper self-understanding and lasting change.

She also applies Emotional Transformation Therapy, or ETT, integrating sensory elements such as light, color, and guided eye movements with evidence-based interventions to address emotional and physical patterns. Her work is grounded in mindfulness, compassion, nonviolence, and curiosity, inviting clients to access their inner resources and resilience while exploring how past experiences shape present life.

After a successful career in business and IT, Sharon shifted to counseling following her own meaningful experience with mindfulness-based therapy. That personal journey, combined with her experience as a mother and a seasoned professional, informs a warm, respectful approach that values genuine connection. She has served as a primary therapist at Changes Plano and maintains a private practice in Plano, TX. Sharon enjoys nature, particularly time near lakes and the ocean, and finds mindful walks an important source of renewal. She welcomes the opportunity to partner with clients and families on their path toward healing and personal growth at the platform.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Sharon uses the Hakomi method, a mindfulness-based, somatic approach that combines gentle body awareness with curious inquiry to help clients notice automatic patterns and make meaningful change. This approach can be helpful for people working with attachment issues, trauma-related responses, or longstanding emotional habits. Emotional Transformation Therapy, or ETT, is another core method she employs - it blends guided sensory techniques such as light, color, and eye movements with evidence-informed strategies to support emotional processing and relief from intense feelings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sharon collaborates with each person to identify which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan over time so therapy feels practical and personalized.

Online sessions - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility needs. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care from home or on the go, and they allow Sharon and other licensed professionals to meet clients where they are while working toward meaningful progress.
