About Sharon
Sharon Green is a licensed professional counselor with 17 years of experience in behavioral health. She focuses on helping people facing trauma, grief, career concerns, depression, and those seeking coaching. Sharon values treating each person as an individual and tailors care to fit specific needs and goals.
She uses a whole-person view that attends to body, mind, and spirit during recovery. In sessions she draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, client-centered methods, emotionally-focused techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing.
Background and approach
These approaches guide practical conversations about thoughts, feelings, and daily steps forward. Sharon has worked across community and clinical settings in New Jersey, and she brings a calm, steady presence to difficult topics. She helps people name what’s happening, find patterns, and try small changes that can reduce stress and improve coping.
Sessions are direct and supportive rather than overly technical. Her background includes work with men, women, active military personnel, and veterans, and she is familiar with issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, caregiver stress, and substance problems. Sharon also addresses relationship communication, divorce and separation, eating-related concerns, and challenges tied to aging and adoption or foster care.
People who prefer practical strategies alongside emotional support often find her style useful. She works with clients to set clear goals and track progress. The result is a collaborative process focused on usable tools and honest conversation.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions; it can help when abandonment, attachment, or relationship trust are central concerns. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and uses active listening to help people feel heard and make their own choices; it suits those needing a steady, validating space. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for depression, anxiety, and coping after trauma.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges to recommend methods that match each person. Decisions about techniques are made collaboratively and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions for lower bandwidth or a quick check-in, live chat for brief exchanges, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while still using attachment, client-centered, or CBT methods in a way that works for the client.
