Approaches in Online Therapy and How They Help

Sharon integrates cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based techniques into online work. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and stress-reduction skills that support coping with overwhelming emotions and chronic stress.

She also employs a client-centered stance that prioritizes the individual’s goals and perspective. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration, helping people explore their values and build motivation for change. Together these approaches provide practical tools and a supportive space to address relationship issues, trauma-related symptoms, parenting challenges, and career concerns.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and Sharon collaborates with each person to determine which combination of methods fits best with their needs, goals, and preferences. Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to access care around work, family, and other commitments while maintaining continuity of treatment with licensed professionals.
