Background and approach
Dialectical behavior skills are used when people need help with strong emotions and better ways to cope in the moment. Sessions often focus on clear skills and small goals. Sharon helps clients practice communication, set boundaries, and work through issues like divorce, blended family stress, or workplace conflict.
She also supports people facing caregiver strain, isolation, or questions about life purpose and self-love. Sharon draws on five years of counseling experience in Alabama to guide practical change. She frames challenges in everyday terms and offers tools people can use between sessions.
The work is collaborative - clients and therapist decide what to try next. People can expect a calm, respectful tone and a focus on problem-solving. Sharon welcomes discussions about aging and geriatric issues, attachment concerns, infidelity, jealousy, and young adult struggles.
Sessions are conducted in English and geared toward clear, usable progress.

04Online support
Using Client-Centered, CBT, and DBT Online
Sharon commonly blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping clients understand their own goals and values. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors to find small changes that reduce anxiety and stress. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Sharon will talk with each person about their goals, what feels helpful, and what they want to change. Together they will pick strategies to try and adjust them as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and practical.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone calls can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a quicker check-in. Live chat and messaging work for shorter check-ins, written reflections, or updates between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life and try different formats to see what works best.
