Her background includes military service as a Combat Medic and time in the Air Force Reserve, followed by a career as an active duty Air Force social worker.

How Sharon's Approaches Work Online

Sharon commonly blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people manage worries and change habits. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and shaping goals that matter to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and uses simple exercises to test new responses.

She also uses Solution-Focused techniques to set clear, short-term goals and track progress. That approach is useful when a client wants quick, practical steps to reduce stress or improve sleep. Together these approaches support both short-term coping and longer-term change, and Sharon works with each client to find the right mix.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Sharon discusses goals and preferences with clients and adjusts methods as progress is observed. This collaborative process means treatment evolves to match the person’s needs.
