About Sharon
Sharon Blanchard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 30 years of experience. She focuses on helping adults who feel stuck by listening closely and guiding practical next steps. Her work often addresses anxiety, depression, parenting strains, and relationship and career concerns.
Sharon’s background includes counseling in K-12 school settings and teaching graduate-level counseling courses. She has supported parents managing challenging children and teens, and she has helped young adults facing identity and relationship questions. She has also worked with middle-age adults making difficult life decisions and seeking clearer direction.
Her approach centers on hearing what a person is really saying and sorting through the everyday noise. Sessions emphasize understanding how thoughts, behaviors, and circumstances interact. Sharon uses tools drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative techniques to help people find new perspectives.
Sharon describes her own experience with counseling as meaningful, and she invites clients to decide how much faith or spirituality should be part of their work together. She aims to be adaptable in the room and to support each person’s unique needs as they move toward clearer choices and greater calm.
People often seek her help for stress, panic attacks and panic disorder, parenting challenges, grief, postpartum concerns, and midlife transition. She encourages straightforward conversation and practical steps people can use between sessions.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs steady support and a space to make sense of feelings. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical strategies to change those patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and panic-related symptoms.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try out techniques, and adjust based on what helps most. Together they decide which methods fit the client’s needs and preferences over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or let someone choose a format that requires less bandwidth or no video. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and client-centered work to remote sessions so clients practice skills between meetings and track progress over time.
