About Sharon
Sharon Blanchard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 30 years of experience. She has worked in K-12 school settings and taught graduate counseling courses, and she has supported individuals facing depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, and questions about identity during life transitions.
Sharon focuses on listening carefully and helping people sort through what matters to them. She has experience helping parents manage the stress of parenting challenging children and teens. She also works with young adults dealing with the move into careers, new relationships, and questions about emotional or spiritual identity.
Her background includes long-term work in schools and higher education, which shaped a practical, straightforward approach to problems. Sharon uses conversational methods to help people notice patterns, test small changes, and build clearer choices. She draws on client-centered work to follow what the person brings to sessions and on narrative ideas to help people reframe their stories.
Sharon integrates cognitive behavioral tools to address anxious or depressed thinking, and she uses mindfulness strategies to bring attention to present-moment responses. Motivational interviewing informs how she supports change when people feel stuck or unsure about next steps.
She can bring faith into sessions when a client wants to discuss spiritual concerns, and she respects whatever level of exploration the person prefers. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Sharon uses practical therapies in remote sessions
Sharon draws from client-centered work that emphasizes careful listening and following the concerns each person brings. This approach helps identify what matters most and keeps the pace set by the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice automatic reactions and develop steadier attention in stressful moments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon treats approach selection as a conversation. She will review goals, try methods, and adjust based on what feels useful and realistic for the client. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits the person's life and aims.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work, or parenting by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Remote sessions also let people practice skills between meetings in the context of their daily routine, which can speed up learning and make changes more practical.
