About Sharon
Sharon Albert is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi with 30 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, ADHD, and life changes. Her background also includes career-related strain, mood disorders, and issues around self-esteem and anger.
Sharon combines straightforward therapeutic methods in sessions. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and build a working relationship. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are used to build attention and calm during stressful moments.
Her earlier career included six years as a school administrator and ten years in law enforcement. That mix of roles shaped a practical, accountability-minded way of working with people who want clear steps and honest feedback. She also brings experience with blended family concerns, codependency, communication problems, and multicultural issues.
Sessions focus on identifying problems, trying out small changes, and checking what works. Sharon also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time and solution-focused tools for short-term goals. She will discuss options and agree on a plan that fits each person’s situation.
People choosing Sharon can expect direct conversation about difficulties and practical strategies for coping. Her long experience across community and institutional settings informs a pragmatic approach to therapy. If you want to start, follow the site's booking steps to match and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful working relationship where the person’s concerns are heard and understood. In practice this means sessions start with the person's priorities and questions, and the therapist reflects and clarifies what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses exercises to test different ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and practical coping skills. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with stress, anger, and impulsivity.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they choose techniques to try, review progress, and adjust the plan as needed so it fits day-to-day life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or caregiving by removing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks. They can also make some check-ins shorter or let people join without being on camera when that helps. Ask about the available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so you can pick what fits your routine.
