Therapeutic approaches and online care with Sharon Salichs

Sharon draws on client-centered therapy to create a collaborative space where the client’s perspective guides the work; this approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and aligning the pace of therapy with what feels most useful to the individual, which can be helpful for issues like grief, self-esteem, and life transitions.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and patterns, translating those insights into practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Narrative therapy is another approach Sharon applies to help clients reframe personal stories and separate problems from identity, which can aid recovery from trauma, shame, and relational difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sharon works collaboratively with each person to evaluate goals, preferences, and responses to different methods, and she adjusts strategies as therapy progresses to find the best fit.

Online therapy with Sharon is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility limitations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access timely support, and integrate therapeutic work into daily life.
