How Sharon’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values. It is useful for managing anxiety, depression, and life transitions by teaching practical actions tied to personal goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact. It uses straightforward exercises to change unhelpful thinking patterns and build new habits, which can help with panic, SAD, and low mood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. These tools can reduce intense reactions and improve communication in strained relationships.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sharon will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. She often combines elements from different approaches and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try different formats to see what works best.
