About Shara

Shara Biggs is an LPC practicing in Tennessee who focuses on practical, person-centered therapy. She aims to help people cope with stress and anxiety as well as a wide range of concerns like depression, addictions, trauma, and self-esteem. Shara emphasizes respectful, sensitive care and works to create a clear plan that fits each person’s needs.

She draws on therapies that help people notice thoughts and make values-based choices. Shara uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address patterns that keep problems stuck. She also uses client-centered and attachment-informed approaches to build a collaborative relationship and strengthen emotional safety.

Sessions are shaped around what a person brings in. Conversations focus on practical steps, skill-building, and clearer goals. Shara aims to help people manage symptoms, rebuild routines, and improve relationships by teaching coping skills and ways to shift unhelpful habits.

With four years of formal experience as an LPC, she combines structure with flexibility during sessions. She explains options plainly and invites questions so people understand the plan. The work is steady and goal-focused, with attention to both immediate relief and longer-term change.

Shara welcomes people who are ready to take a first step toward change. She helps people make small, manageable shifts that add up over time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Shara uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and attachment-aware practices. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then take steps that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Client-centered and attachment-informed work focuses on building a steady, empathetic relationship that supports change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before to decide what to try. That collaborative process can include trying a few tools and seeing what fits best for each person.

Confirm current session formats before booking because specific online options are not listed in the biography. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits can help people maintain steady progress while balancing work, caregiving, or other daily demands.
