How Sharon’s approaches translate to online work

Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention and breathing practices to help people slow down and notice feelings and thoughts. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and managing big emotions by teaching short, repeatable skills.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, respect, and following each person’s pace. This approach helps people feel heard and supports self-directed change in relationships, parenting, and life direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It often includes small homework tasks and skill practice for mood, panic, and coping with life changes.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean mixing mindfulness, client-centered listening, and CBT exercises over time.

Confirm the session formats before booking since none are listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports doing mindfulness exercises, skills practice, and goal check-ins between sessions to keep progress moving.
