Therapeutic approaches and online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It encourages identifying personal values and taking committed steps toward a meaningful life, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, offering practical tools to challenge unhelpful patterns and build new skills for managing mood, anxiety, and coping with daily challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotional response, helping people understand and shift connection and trust issues that affect relationships and self-image.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sharon works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting sessions as progress unfolds and as new priorities emerge.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility for a busy or geographically dispersed life. Video calls allow face-to-face connection when needed, phone sessions offer a simpler option for conversation, and live chat or text-based messaging provide shorter, immediate ways to check in and work through difficulties between sessions. These options make it easier for registered professionals and therapists to support clients consistently while accommodating different schedules and communication styles.
