About Sharon
Sharon Nielsen is an LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) based in Ohio with 10 years of clinical experience supporting adults. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, and depression, and helps people facing relationship and life transition challenges.
Sharon focuses on practical ways to manage strong emotions and reduce overwhelm. She talks through coping strategies for anxiety and stress, and offers steady support for people recovering from past abuse or trauma. She also helps with anger, self-worth struggles, and mood concerns that get in the way of daily life.
Her work often addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, communication problems, control issues, and family conflict. She supports people dealing with divorce or separation, domestic violence histories, and the emptiness that can follow major life changes. Sharon also helps clients explore forgiveness, guilt, shame, and questions of purpose.
The practice includes attention to co-occurring issues and impulsivity, as well as specific concerns such as Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder when relevant to an adult's presentation. Sharon views therapy as a collaborative process that focuses on concrete skills and clearer thinking, rather than abstract reassurance.

How evidence-based approaches guide online sessions
Many therapists who work with trauma, mood, and anxiety combine evidence-based techniques that focus on skills, emotion regulation, and understanding relationship patterns. For example, cognitive-focused work looks at unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches ways to test and change them to reduce anxiety or depression symptoms. Skills-based emotion regulation focuses on practical tools to notice feelings, reduce impulsive reactions, and manage intense anger or distress.Another helpful approach addresses attachment and relational patterns by exploring how past relationships shape current expectations and reactions. This can help with codependency, abandonment fears, and communication problems by building clearer understanding of what someone needs and how to ask for it. These approaches are commonly used together to match the issues a person brings to therapy.
Finding the best mix of techniques is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try approaches, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That conversation is ongoing rather than fixed at the first session.
