About Sharon
Sharon Forde Marshall is a Florida LMHC with 23 years of professional experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family problems, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She also addresses issues related to abandonment, adoption and foster care, and body image.
Sharon uses practical, conversational sessions. She listens to what a person is facing, then suggests approaches from therapies she practices. That can include skills for managing anxiety, ways to reframe unhelpful thoughts, and practices to build more consistent emotional regulation.
Her background includes long-term clinical work across common life transitions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people clarify values, set small goals, and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Attachment-informed work helps when relationship patterns and past losses affect present choices.
Sessions focus on clear goals and real-world steps. A typical session might include checking in about the week, practicing a skill, and planning a small action to try between meetings. Sharon aims to help people make steady progress on everyday problems like starting a job, navigating breakups, or handling family tension.
She accepts clients in English and works with people both in Florida and internationally. Prospective clients choose an initial matching process and schedule a first session to begin.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions fit
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed actions toward the life someone wants. It can help with feeling stuck, low motivation, and making choices after major transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete techniques to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful thinking. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns influence current connections and can help when trust, abandonment, or family dynamics are central concerns.Picking the right approach is part of the work. Sharon collaborates with each person to identify which methods match their needs and goals. Together they review what feels helpful and adjust the plan as they go, so therapy stays practical and relevant to everyday life.

It also allows people to work with licensed professionals across state lines and from other countries while focusing on skills, problem solving, and relationship patterns that matter in early adulthood.
