Shari Lightfield

Shari Lightfield, LPC, offers support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting strains, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, and grief. She also helps with sleep and eating troubles, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Her opening message is warm and encouraging for anyone taking the first step toward help.

Shari uses a person-centered style that focuses on each person's strengths and goals. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy and other approaches to shape sessions around what matters most to the individual. Sessions tend to be practical and tailored, with room for creativity when that helps someone engage in the work.

Her background includes seven years of clinical experience in residential and outpatient community mental health settings. That work involved individual therapy, groups, and family-involved care, which informs how she organizes treatment and supports people through change.

Shari incorporates techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based methods, Emotionally-Focused ideas, mindfulness, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when those approaches fit a person's needs. She believes people have the capacity to heal and adapts tools to each situation rather than using a single fixed plan.

In the room she emphasizes honesty, clear communication, and mutual respect. The therapeutic relationship is treated as a collaborative space where trust and commitment allow progress. Those seeking a steady, person-focused approach may find her style approachable and straightforward.
