About Sharon
Dr. Sharon Anderson is a Colorado Psychologist (CO Psychologist PSY.0001971) with 19 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem, coping with life changes, anger, career challenges, and depression. She also addresses related areas such as codependency, communication problems, feelings of emptiness, and multicultural concerns.
Sharon frames work around straightforward conversation. She helps people name their goals and break them into small steps. She listens for patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses practical strategies to test new approaches. Sessions aim to clarify what matters most right now and identify doable changes.
Her background includes long experience with mood disorders and life transitions. She draws on client-centered methods to keep the focus patient-led, and uses cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused skills support short-term planning and boosting momentum toward goals.
People often come to her worried about feeling stuck, isolated, or unsure of their next moves. She works one-on-one to improve communication, manage guilt or shame, and rebuild confidence after setbacks. She also helps with seasonal mood changes and questions of life purpose.

How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Anderson uses client-centered therapy to follow what matters most to the person in session. This approach emphasizes listening and reflection so the client can set the agenda and define goals. It is helpful when someone feels unclear about priorities or wants a supportive, person-led setting.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT is practical for anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and stress management because it gives concrete steps to try between sessions. Motivational interviewing is used to build readiness and momentum when motivation is low or change feels daunting.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and will adapt methods as the client learns what helps. That collaboration makes sessions feel more relevant and keeps the focus on small, achievable changes.

Online work can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit around school, work, or commuting. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or reduce the need for travel so therapy is easier to maintain alongside other commitments.
