About Sharon

Sharon Sumler is an LMSW, a Licensed Master Social Worker practicing in Michigan with 20 years of clinical experience. She has worked with children, teens, adults, couples, and families, helping people navigate a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family challenges, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting, and other life changes.

Sharon approaches therapy with empathy and practical support. She believes growth often follows difficult experiences and that those challenges can prompt people to reassess their sense of self-worth and find new ways to move forward. Having faced her own medical and emotional struggles, she draws on personal insight alongside professional training to offer understanding and steady guidance.

Clients can expect a nonjudgmental, collaborative relationship focused on goals that matter to them. Sharon aims to provide a comforting presence while using evidence-informed methods to address immediate concerns and build long-term coping skills. She looks forward to working with clients who are ready to take steps toward change and healing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathetic relationship where the client leads the pace and topics of work. This approach helps people build self-awareness, increase self-worth, and make choices aligned with their values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and improving day-to-day coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sharon works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time based on progress and feedback.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to access care from home or other locations. Licensed professionals can provide consistent support and practical tools remotely, helping clients move toward their goals with greater convenience and continuity.
