About Sharon

Sharon Cutbirth is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 12 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety and cope with depression. Sharon aims to make starting therapy feel doable and respectful from the first contact.

Her style is direct and compassionate. She listens for practical problems and works with each person to set clear goals. Sessions are shaped around what a person needs most, whether that is building confidence, addressing family conflict, or managing everyday overwhelm.

She often draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to shift unhelpful thinking and on mindfulness to build calm and focus. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies guide short-term steps and keep momentum moving.

She respects each person’s background and adjusts the pace accordingly. Therapy conversations are collaborative - the person and Sharon decide what to try and when to change course. That makes it easier to find approaches that fit daily life.

How specific approaches shape online sessions

Sharon commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice patterns of thinking that increase stress and then try practical experiments to test new ways of thinking. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with anxiety and mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sharon will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together the person and Sharon decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed, keeping the work collaborative and flexible.

The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that works better. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a simpler option, while video sessions let Sharon and the person use visual cues during conversations. Ask about available formats when you schedule to match sessions to your daily routine and needs.
