About Sharon
Sharon uses several therapy approaches in her work. She often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters and take steps toward it. Attachment-Based Therapy is used when relationship patterns and early bonds show up in current problems. Client-Centered methods mean conversations are paced to the person in front of her rather than a rigid plan.
The therapist also describes using existential ideas to help people face big life questions and hypnotherapy for focused work that some clients find useful. Sessions are conversational and practical. Sharon aims to help people talk through painful events, sort out priorities, and try new behaviors between meetings.
Her practice reflects long-term clinical experience in California and a focus on adult concerns around parenting, family origins, and relationship dynamics. She works in English and does not accept international clients. For next steps she asks prospective clients to use the online matching process to schedule a first session and to review session options before booking.
Sharon’s background and methods are oriented to people who feel stuck after a change or who are trying to decide what matters next. She offers steady, experienced guidance without promising specific outcomes.

How her main approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking committed steps toward those values. Online ACT work often combines discussion with short exercises to try between sessions, which can help when major life decisions feel stalled.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. In remote sessions this can mean mapping interactions, noticing triggers, and practicing new ways of relating with partners or family members outside of therapy.
She also uses Client-Centered methods that keep the pace set by the client. This approach makes online conversations feel responsive and practical, letting the client guide topics and timing rather than following a strict script.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different methods. That collaboration helps decide whether to emphasize ACT, attachment work, or other techniques as sessions progress.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can fit more easily into busy lives by reducing travel and making scheduling simpler. They also allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight, or camera-off sessions when bandwidth is limited. Discuss format needs during the initial matching process to choose what fits daily life best.
