Online support
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions help
Sharon commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns shape how people connect today; this work can help when trust, closeness, or repeated relationship problems are central concerns. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and following what the person says is most important, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at patterns of thinking and behavior to build practical coping skills.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Sharon will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then shape sessions to match those needs. She emphasizes working together to try methods and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different routines. Video calls let people read facial cues and connect in real time, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or being on camera is a concern, live chat works for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on clear, consistent progress.
