Sharen draws on an integrative set of therapeutic skills, using approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Her work blends practical coping strategies with exploration of values and relationships so people can manage symptoms while pursuing meaningful change.

Sharen accepts international clients and offers sessions by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. She also brings lived experience of narcissistic abuse, domestic violence, trauma, anxiety, depression, sudden death, and divorce, and she uses that perspective to offer empathetic, strength-based support as people take steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Therapeutic approaches for online care and connection

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and build practical habits that support those values. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions when the goal is to increase psychological flexibility rather than eliminate difficult feelings.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns that developed in relationships and how those early dynamics affect current connections. It can be especially helpful for people working through relationship damage, abandonment concerns, or recovery from relational abuse.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers structured techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and developing coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sharen works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as therapy progresses.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographic distance. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different formats for support, and access a licensed professional from wherever the client is located.
