When trauma or overwhelming emotional memories are present, Sharon uses EMDR approaches alongside mindfulness and dialetical behavior strategies to help reduce distress and build coping skills.

She also supports people dealing with addiction and gambling disorders. Her practice emphasizes collaboration, practical skills, and steady support during change.

How these approaches translate to online care

Sharon commonly draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy, and she also uses EMDR when trauma work is needed. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and experiences, with the therapist offering empathy and support while the person guides the pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thought and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful habits. EMDR involves structured processing of distressing memories and can help reduce the intensity of traumatic reactions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sharon will work with each person to decide which techniques best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can shift over time as progress is made or new concerns emerge.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support steady work on symptoms like anxiety, mood changes, trauma responses, or addiction-related challenges by keeping therapy accessible between life demands.
