About Sharon
Sharon Williamson is a licensed professional counselor in Georgia with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, and life changes. Sharon speaks plain language and aims to make therapy easy to understand for worried parents and busy adults.
She uses a client-centered stance that puts the person’s priorities first. That means sessions start with what matters most to the individual and move at a comfortable pace.
Background and approach
Sharon also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors, and solution-focused techniques to build practical steps forward. Her background includes an undergraduate degree from the University of South Florida and a graduate degree from Argosy University. Those years of study and practice inform a steady, experienced approach in sessions.
Sharon combines evidence-based methods with straightforward conversation to address daily struggles. In a typical session she listens to the current problem, helps identify helpful and unhelpful thought patterns, and works with the person to set small, achievable goals. Communication is direct and supportive, with homework or practice suggestions when useful.
The focus is on changes people can notice between sessions. Sharon offers several ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She helps people find an approach that fits their schedule and communication style.
How client-centered and practical approaches work online
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s goals first and focuses on listening and understanding. In this approach Sharon will ask what matters most and shape sessions around those priorities to make progress at a comfortable pace.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps identify patterns that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change those patterns. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.
Solution-focused therapy emphasizes small, doable steps and what is already working. Sessions often end with clear, short goals to try between meetings so people can notice changes quickly.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Sharon works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls work well for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, focused updates. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact and keep work moving forward.
