About Sharonda

Sharonda Ocean welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to turn. She is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina with eight years of clinical experience. Sharonda focuses on practical steps that help people feel steadier day to day.

Her approach centers on helping people build self-awareness and healthier habits. She uses straightforward methods to reduce anxiety, manage mood changes, and strengthen self-esteem. Sessions include talking through recent stressors and learning new coping strategies that fit daily life.

Background and approach

Sharonda blends several therapy styles to meet each person where they are. She draws on techniques that encourage acceptance of difficult feelings, skills for managing intense emotions, and ways to change unhelpful thinking. Attachment-focused work often looks at past relationships to understand current patterns.

People often bring concerns such as relationship strain, trauma or abuse, depression, anger, ADHD, or compassion fatigue. Sharonda also supports those coping with life changes, divorce or separation, family of origin issues, and dissociation. She pays attention to communication and boundary challenges like codependency and control issues.

Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. For those who choose online care, she works collaboratively to set goals and try practical tools between meetings. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while choosing actions that match their values. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to change mood and reactions; it often helps with depression, anxiety, and managing day-to-day stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication when emotions feel overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work and happens together. Sharonda will listen to what matters to the person, try methods that suit their goals, and adjust strategies over time. The process is collaborative and practical, with simple exercises to practice between sessions.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, quick problem-solving, or maintaining regular contact between longer sessions. These options help fit therapy into work, parenting, or busy schedules.
