About Sharon
Sharon Overfelt is a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings somatic and mindfulness-based methods to sessions. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, family issues, and trauma and abuse. Sharon combines practical tools with a warm, curious stance to help people find clarity and calm.
She uses Hakomi, a body-mind method that helps people notice physical reactions and how those connect with feelings and memories. She also draws on Emotional Transformation Therapy, which blends several evidence-based techniques to support emotional processing and relief.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to make difficult feelings easier to understand and manage. Before counseling, Sharon worked in business and IT. That background shapes her clear, down-to-earth approach to problem solving.
She also brings seven years of counseling experience and time as a primary therapist in an outpatient program for adults in Plano, Texas. Sharon says her own experience with mindfulness-based therapy led her to this work. That personal journey informs how she holds curiosity, compassion, and gentleness in sessions.
She aims to help clients access resilience and a better sense of direction. Outside of work, Sharon recharges near water and on mindful walks. Her role as a mother and her professional experience influence how she connects with people and supports practical steps toward change.
Mindful, body-aware approaches for online healing
Hakomi is a mindfulness-based, somatic approach that helps people notice body sensations, patterns, and beliefs as they arise in the moment. It can be useful for understanding how past experiences shape current reactions and for practicing new ways of responding.Emotional Transformation Therapy combines several evidence-based techniques to help people process intense feelings. It uses guided experiential work to ease overwhelm and increase emotional regulation over time.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods and adjust as progress and comfort evolve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face interaction and deeper nonverbal work while phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging offer shorter check-ins and ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work from different locations.
