How Sharon's Approaches Work in Online Therapy
Sharon uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide her online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and understanding each person's experience before suggesting change. It helps when someone needs a respectful space to talk through feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers concrete skills for managing anxiety, mood, and stress.She treats finding the right approach as a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try strategies, and adjust plans based on what helps. Decisions about what to use come from the client's needs, goals, and preferences rather than a fixed method.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, cut travel time, and keep check-ins regular.
