Background and approach
Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and steps that can be used every day. Her work draws on client-centered methods that emphasize active listening and partnership. She also brings in cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and develop different ways of responding.
For clients who have experienced trauma, she uses trauma-focused approaches to address painful memories and reactions carefully. Motivational interviewing is another tool she uses when someone needs help finding the drive to make changes. That approach helps people notice their own reasons to change and build confidence in taking next steps.
Together these methods form a practical, flexible approach tailored to each person. Sharie aims to make therapy straightforward and doable. She helps people set realistic goals and practice new skills outside sessions.
The focus is on steady progress, simple tools, and building self-trust.

04Online support
How client-centered and online care work together
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s experience at the center and relies on listening, empathy, and collaboration to set goals. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, validating space to make sense of stress, anxiety, or self-worth concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing more helpful ways of thinking and behaving. It is practical and skill-based, useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and everyday coping strategies.
Finding the best approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and past attempts at change. Together they decide whether client-centered work, CBT, or trauma-focused methods are the right fit, and the plan can shift as needs change.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for full conversation and face-to-face interaction. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging work well for short updates, notes between sessions, or when someone prefers typing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep therapeutic momentum between appointments.
