About Sharon

Sharon Carroll is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in California. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck, unseen, or out of step with their lives. Sharon listens closely and helps clients name what they want to change and how to get there.

Sharon works with individuals and couples, and she draws on a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She uses mindfulness practices to help people notice what they are feeling in the moment. She also uses attachment-based and client-centered ideas to clarify relationship patterns and strengthen connection.

Her background includes a Master of Arts in Psychology from Houston Christian University, an MBA from Rice University, and a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of Southern California. She also trained as a life coach and has led groups for grief and career transitions as well as The Daring Way based on Brené Brown's work.

In session Sharon offers a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk through loss, relationship strain, career change, grief, and other life stressors. She helps clients set clear goals and try practical steps between meetings. Sharon aims to help people recover parts of themselves that feel lost and build resilience for future challenges.

She brings 18 years of clinical experience to her practice. Sharon’s approach adapts to what resonates with each person, so sessions focus on what will most help the client reach their goals.

Approach-driven online care and practical steps

Sharon commonly uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people learn to notice thoughts and feelings without judgment, which can ease stress and repetitive worries. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns in relationships and how early connections shape current responses, useful for relationship strain and communication problems. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her work too, offering an empathetic space where the client's goals guide the pace and focus of sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sharon will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and which methods feel most helpful. She adapts the plan as people learn what works and what needs to shift over time.

If you are considering online work, confirm the available session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time around work or caregiving. Licensed professionals often use these advantages to keep momentum between sessions and to practice new skills in everyday routines.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
