Sharon Salichs , LMHC

Sharon Salichs is a Spanish-speaking Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Professional Counseling from the Interamerican University of Puerto Rico, where she developed a solid foundation in psychological theory, counseling techniques, and hands-on clinical skills.

Building on that education, she has spent more than six years delivering individual and family therapy and providing crisis intervention support. Her training emphasized both conceptual understanding and practical strategies that inform her work with clients. Sharon brings a compassionate, skills-driven approach to counseling, attending to each client’s unique needs while drawing on evidence-informed methods learned through her graduate education and clinical practice.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Sharon integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and narrative therapy into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental partnership where the therapist listens closely and supports the client's own goals - this approach helps when someone needs validation and a space to explore feelings. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood; it often includes practical exercises and skill-building. Narrative therapy examines the stories people tell about their lives, helping clients reframe experiences and separate themselves from problems to create more empowering narratives.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sharon works collaboratively with clients and with other licensed professionals as needed to determine which methods align with a client's needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time based on what is most helpful.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - video calls, phone meetings, live chat, and text-based messaging each offer flexibility in how and when clients connect. These options can increase access to regular support and make it simpler to maintain continuity of care across different circumstances.
