How Sharon’s Approaches Translate Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clearer about their values and take small meaningful steps toward them, even when emotions are intense. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments and behavior changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotional responses and how they shape relationships and intimacy.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and day-to-day needs, then suggest approaches that fit. Together they will try methods and adjust as needed to find what works best.
