How Sharon uses therapeutic techniques in online sessions
Sharon commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety or low mood. She also draws on Person-Centered methods that keep the conversation focused on what the client feels is most important, supporting self-directed goals. When rigid beliefs are causing distress, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT) is used to identify and challenge those beliefs and try practical alternative perspectives.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help figure out which techniques match a client's needs, goals, and preferences. She reviews progress and adapts methods as those needs change so sessions remain focused and relevant.
