She offers calm, direct support for people navigating stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and mood concerns.

Sharon’s style is warm and nonjudgmental. She listens first, then helps people name what feels off. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Conversations are straightforward and paced to fit each person's needs. Her work often uses ideas from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and change small behaviors that make a big difference. Sharon also uses Client-Centered methods to follow what each person brings to the room and to build trust.
For clients who have experienced harm, Trauma-Focused Therapy techniques are available to address painful memories in a careful way. Sharon helps with relationship and communication problems, parenting stress, career concerns, and issues common to LGBT people. She also supports people dealing with anger, impulsivity, panic attacks, and feelings of isolation.
Her approach adapts depending on each situation and goal. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Sharon works with international clients as well and can meet in English or Portuguese.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to pair people with a provider and schedule sessions.
Therapeutic Approaches That Work Online
Sharon draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, panic, and low mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding to each person's experience, helping build trust and clarify goals.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Sharon discusses goals, preferences, and the challenges a person brings and then suggests steps to try. She adjusts methods as needed so the work stays relevant and useful over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief updates, coaching between sessions, or ongoing support without scheduling a full call. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and across time zones.
