Practical approaches for online care
Sharon commonly uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s own goals and pace. This approach means sessions focus on what matters most to the client, with the therapist following the client’s lead and offering supportive feedback.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and managing impulsive patterns by breaking problems into small, workable steps.
Finding the right fit is part of the work. Sharon will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful, then tailor methods to those needs. The plan can shift over time as progress and priorities change, and decisions are made together.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving options for different situations. Video is good for a richer face-to-face feel, while phone calls need less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep continuity when schedules change.
