About Sharonda
Sharonda Ocean is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, anger, bipolar symptoms, and ADHD. She centers care on helping clients notice their strengths and build self-compassion. Her style aims to make the therapeutic process approachable and practical for everyday life.
She uses attachment-informed work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.
Background and approach
That perspective is paired with cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take meaningful action, and client-centered listening to make people feel heard. Sharonda has eight years working directly in mental health as a licensed clinician in North Carolina.
Her background includes supporting people through life changes, relationship communication problems, codependency, family of origin issues, and the fallout from domestic violence and separation. She has experience with complex concerns such as dissociation, abandonment wounds, and disruptive mood dysregulation issues. In sessions she focuses on clear, practical steps clients can use between meetings.
That can mean learning emotion regulation skills from dialectical behavior therapy, practicing mindfulness, or developing new routines for managing mood and stress. Progress is paced to each person’s needs and goals. She offers therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules.
Sessions are conducted in English and operate through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Online support
Attachment and evidence-based approaches online
Sharonda uses attachment-informed work to help people understand how early relationships affect current patterns and emotional responses. That work helps when connection wounds, abandonment fears, or communication problems keep showing up in relationships.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people identify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when strong emotions are present. Client-centered therapy is part of her practice too, which means she listens openly and follows the client's lead so sessions feel collaborative and respectful.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sharonda will work with each client to identify which methods fit best for their goals, preferences, and life demands. That collaborative decision-making helps shape session focus and homework between meetings.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice and deeper dialogue, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text messages can fit quick check-ins or supportive prompts during a busy day. These options are meant to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
