04Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Sharon commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Person-Centered approaches, explained in practical terms. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce stress and anxiety. Person-Centered work centers on being heard and understood so people can find their own solutions and build confidence.She also incorporates Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people challenge rigid beliefs that cause emotional distress and learn more flexible responses. Each approach is used to fit the person and the problem rather than applied the same way to everyone. Sharon works collaboratively to choose or adapt methods that match a client's goals, preferences, and life situation.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule and to keep consistent momentum between sessions. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and help maintain continuity when life is unpredictable. Since specific session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm current session options before booking to know whether video, phone, or other formats are available.
