About Sharon
Sharon Salichs is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who brings a practical, person-focused approach to online therapy. She speaks Spanish and practices from Florida, using straightforward methods to help people manage emotional pain and life changes. Her work centers on listening closely to each person's story and building clear, achievable goals.
Sharon draws on client-centered methods to create a supportive space, then uses cognitive-behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Background and approach
She also uses narrative and solution-focused ideas to help people reframe problems and find practical next steps. Sharon has eight years of experience in counseling, with a background that includes a bachelor's in psychology and a master's in professional counseling from the Interamerican University of Puerto Rico. That training underpins her practical approach to common concerns like anxiety, depression, and stress.
She also works with grief, trauma and abuse, and mood-related issues such as bipolar disorder. Areas of focus include parenting stress, caregiver fatigue, communication problems, and relationship separation. Sharon also supports people facing guilt, shame, impulsivity, isolation, and questions about life purpose and self-love.
She pays attention to both immediate coping and longer-term change. Sessions are offered in Spanish and English and are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Sharon uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, and she works with clients located in Florida.
How her approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience so the therapist can respond with empathy and respect. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to shift those patterns. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and impulsive behaviors.
The therapist will collaborate with each client to find the right blend of methods for their needs and goals. Sharon will work together with the client to try approaches, adjust them, and pick what feels most helpful as the work progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills work and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and step-by-step support easier during a busy week. These options aim to make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while balancing daily responsibilities.
