Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Sharon commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and learn new behaviors. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and testing them with real-life changes, which can help with anxiety, depression, and anger. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing difficult feelings without fighting them and committing to values-based actions, which can aid coping with grief, addiction, and life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods if something does not feel like a good fit. The process is collaborative so clients help shape what techniques are tried and when to shift direction.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules. Video helps build rapport through face-to-face interaction, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat and texting suit quick check-ins or shorter work-day breaks. These options create flexibility for people balancing appointments, shifts, or caregiving duties.
