About Sharon
Sharon Calhoun is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with 35 years of experience in Michigan. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, and anger. Sharon also focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, family of origin problems, and fatherhood issues.
She uses clear, practical talk in sessions and aims to help people sort immediate problems first. That can mean looking at thought patterns, practical steps to reduce stress, or short-term goals to stabilize daily life. Sessions tend to focus on what someone can try between meetings as much as what they discuss in the room.
Sharon draws on approaches that include attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, solution-focused planning, and trauma-focused methods. She uses these tools to address patterns in relationships, coping with past hurt, and substance use concerns. Her practice places an emphasis on understanding how past relationships affect present behavior.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation about symptoms and triggers, with practical strategies to try at home. She pays attention to communication patterns and decision-making when helping people with relationship problems or codependency. Sharon also assists with issues that come up during major life transitions, such as separation or changes in family roles.
If you are an adult in Michigan wanting help with anxiety, depression, or relationship struggles, Sharon offers long-term experience and a practical focus on next steps.
How Sharon’s approaches work in online sessions
Sharon uses a few practical approaches that often translate well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it breaks problems into small, manageable steps. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they repeat certain communication or closeness habits and how to try different ways of relating.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sharon will talk with the client about goals, patterns, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try methods that match those goals and adjust over time based on what helps most.
