Step 3
How evidence-based techniques translate to online support
Sharon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns in thinking and behavior, then trying new actions to reduce anxiety and improve mood. This kind of work helps with worry, low self-esteem, and social anxiety by teaching practical skills to use day to day.Another typical method involves processing experiences of trauma and abuse at a pace that feels safe. That approach helps people manage strong emotions, rebuild a sense of safety, and reduce reactive anger or avoidance. Sessions include grounding strategies and step-by-step coping tools that can be rehearsed between meetings.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Sharon will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Together they try methods that fit the person’s life and adjust as needed when something isn’t working.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to work with a licensed professional from another location, which can help when looking for a therapist with relevant experience.
