About Sharon
Dr. Sharon Hansen is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin. She draws on six years of clinical mental health experience and many more years as a school counselor to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties. She also works with people dealing with trauma and abuse, life transitions, and panic disorder and panic attacks.
Her approach is straightforward and compassionate. She listens first, then shapes conversations and plans around what each person needs. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings to feel steadier and more in control.
Dr. Hansen uses a mix of methods, including client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques. She also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools when clients want short-term strategies. For trauma-related concerns she incorporates trauma-focused therapy methods to address painful memories and reactions.
She aims to make therapy collaborative and respectful. People set goals and she offers guidance, coping skills, and feedback. The work often involves breaking problems into smaller parts and trying simple experiments to see what helps.
To start, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability. Her practice uses a cancellable subscription model for sessions, and fees vary by location and timing. If you are considering therapy, she will help you decide if this approach fits your needs.
How therapeutic approaches guide online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on hearing each person without judgment and shaping sessions around their goals. It helps people who need a supportive space to talk things through and decide what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and experiments to reduce anxious thinking and change unhelpful patterns that fuel panic and worry.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to test methods and adjust based on what helps. Clients and the therapist set goals together and try strategies for a few sessions to see what fits best.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow scheduling around work or school, and let people join from different places within their day. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current online options before booking. The therapist will explain available formats and help select what works best for your routine and goals.
