Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Shari uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma and addiction, combining focused processing with stabilization work that helps people reduce symptoms and regain daily functioning. This involves helping clients make sense of painful experiences while building skills to manage intense emotions and triggers.

She also emphasizes practical, skills-based coping and goal planning to address depression, anxiety, stress, and life transitions. These strategies teach concrete tools for managing mood, improving sleep and routines, and setting achievable steps toward desired changes.

Relational and family-centered work is another key focus, helping couples and families improve communication, resolve conflict, and rebuild connection after difficult events or patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist partners with each client to identify treatment goals, test approaches, and adapt methods based on progress, needs, and preferences so the work fits the individual or family.

Online therapy offers flexibility and access by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity of care, and engage in regular support from licensed professionals regardless of location.
