Sharee Gunner , LMHC

Sharee Gunner is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York with 13 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families in a mental health clinic setting. She has conducted evaluations, provided diagnoses, developed treatment plans, and delivered both individual and group counseling for people facing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, ADHD, parenting challenges, and trauma.

Her approach to counseling is warm and client-focused, emphasizing respect, empathy, and cultural competence. She aims to meet each person where they are and to adapt therapeutic style and techniques to fit individual needs. Sharee favors a person-centered stance that allows clients to take the lead when appropriate and collaborates with them to uncover practical solutions and goals.

In practice she uses an integrative mix of methods, drawing on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing to tailor interventions to each situation. As an LMHC she is licensed to evaluate and treat mental health concerns in New York. She is not currently accepting clients. Please note she only has early morning weekend availability.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Sharee integrates attachment-based principles and client-centered practice to build strong therapeutic connections. Attachment-based work explores patterns of relating and how early relationships shape current emotional needs, which can be helpful for people dealing with relationship struggles, intimacy issues, or family dynamics. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathy, acceptance, and collaborative problem solving, encouraging clients to lead the pace and direction of sessions while the therapist offers support and reflection.

She also employs cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - an approach often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Determining the right combination of methods is part of the therapeutic process; Sharee works collaboratively with each person to select approaches that match their goals, preferences, and circumstances.

Online therapy with Sharee can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied communication styles. These remote options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or another convenient setting while maintaining continuity of care when in-person visits are not feasible.
