About SHARON
SHARON ZIGMAN brings a client-centered approach to therapy, helping people untangle stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and relationship struggles. She is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, practicing in Florida with 25 years of experience. Her manner is straightforward and focused on practical next steps for everyday life.
She uses evidence-informed tools to help people change patterns that no longer work. That can mean looking at thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety, practicing new ways to communicate, or learning skills to manage intense emotions.
Background and approach
Sessions move at a pace that fits each person’s needs. Sharon pays attention to how past experiences shape current feelings. She helps people spot unhelpful habits that come from attachment wounds, family of origin issues, or earlier losses.
The goal is to build more useful ways of coping and relating to others. She also supports people dealing with shame, guilt, isolation, and co-occurring mood or substance concerns. Treatment blends practical skill-building with conversations about meaning and values when helpful.
Sharon uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical skills to offer concrete strategies. Her work is collaborative: she and the person in therapy set goals together and check progress along the way. Sessions can be adapted to fit different rhythms of life, whether someone needs brief coaching for a specific problem or more time to work through long-standing patterns.
Therapeutic methods adapted for online care
Client-centered therapy places the person’s goals and values at the center of each session. The therapist listens closely and shapes sessions around what the person says matters most, which helps when addressing relationship issues, grief, or low self-esteem.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers clear exercises and homework to reduce anxiety and depression by changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches specific skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with the person to choose which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process can shift over time as progress is made or new challenges appear.
Online sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy days. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or people who prefer not to be on camera.
