Nupur Sharma, LCPC

Nupur Sharma is an Illinois-based licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career challenges, and depression. She invites clients to take a first step and recognizes that starting therapy takes courage. Her approach is warm and straightforward, aimed at making it easier to talk about hard things.

In sessions she works to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared honestly. She uses practical, evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-focused work to address unhelpful thinking and build coping skills. She also draws on client-centered and attachment-informed ideas to strengthen relationships and self-understanding.

Her practice includes attention to life transitions and longer-term concerns such as aging and geriatric issues, chronic illness and pain, and feelings of isolation or emptiness. She helps people sort through career decisions, money stress, and the emotional fallout of immigration and family challenges.

With 16 years of experience, Sharma blends problem-solving with emotional support. She encourages steady progress through small, manageable steps rather than quick fixes. Sessions aim to leave people with clearer choices and practical tools they can use between meetings.

People who prefer a collaborative and respectful approach may find her style helpful. She works in English and is licensed in Illinois as an LCPC.

How therapy methods translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It uses values-based goals and simple exercises to build a life that matters even when emotions are painful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors fit together and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how past and present relationships shape trust and connection, and it helps people build safer ways of relating to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities. Together they will try methods that fit the client’s needs and adjust the plan as progress and feedback guide the process.

Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed and can be more comfortable for people who prefer not to meet in person at first. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused techniques to virtual meetings so clients can practice skills and review progress between sessions.
