Sharon Albert, LPC

Sharon Albert is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi who helps people manage stress and anxiety among other concerns. She has worked in mental health for 30 years and brings practical perspective from prior roles in school administration and law enforcement. Sharon aims to make therapy a straightforward, respectful place to talk and plan next steps.

Sharon uses a mix of approaches to fit each person's needs. She draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas to spot and change unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness practices help people slow down and notice what is happening in the moment. She also uses psychodynamic and solution-focused approaches when exploring patterns and setting clear, achievable goals.

Her background includes a Master of Science in Counselor Education and a Doctor of Philosophy in Educational Leadership. Sharon spent six years as a school administrator and ten years in law enforcement before focusing full time on counseling work. That blend gives her experience with both everyday life stressors and more intense pressures.

In sessions Sharon balances compassion with an expectation that clients will do the work between meetings. She writes treatment plans tailored to individual needs and adjusts them as goals change. Her style is direct but caring, aimed at practical change rather than lengthy theory.

People often come to Sharon for help with relationships, grief, parenting strain, mood challenges, trauma, ADHD, career stress, and life transitions. She supports work on communication, setting boundaries, and rebuilding confidence.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Sharon commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry and panic. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to help people notice their experience and respond with less reactivity.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sharon will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together the therapist and client decide which techniques to emphasize and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The original biography does not specify which session formats are offered online, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time so people can use a lunch break or evening slot. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises for remote work, such as guided mindfulness practices, thought-record worksheets, and short behavioral experiments that can be tried between meetings.
