About Sharee
Sharee Gunner is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 13 years of clinical experience based in New York. She brings steady, practical support for people facing parenting challenges, stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and life changes. Sharee uses clear, straightforward language so parents can focus on steps that help at home.
Before moving into independent practice she worked in a mental health clinic offering individual and group counseling, evaluations, treatment planning, and diagnostic assessment.
Background and approach
That clinic background shaped her comfort with a wide range of concerns from depression and bipolar mood patterns to trauma and addictive behaviors. Her approach is warm and client-centered. She listens first and adapts methods to match each person's needs.
Sessions often include emotion-focused conversation alongside skill practice to manage overwhelming feelings and impulsive reactions. Sharee blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Dialectical Behavior Therapy and attachment-informed ideas to support relationships and parenting dynamics. She helps people notice patterns, test small changes, and build routines that reduce conflict and stress.
Practical tools and steady support are central to her work. She aims to help parents and individuals create clearer communication, manage intense emotions, and find realistic ways to cope with everyday demands. If someone wants a collaborative, down-to-earth counselor, Sharee offers straightforward guidance and hands-on strategies.

Therapeutic approaches and what online work looks like
Sharee commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas in her online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change emotions and reactions, which is useful for anxiety, panic, and mood difficulties. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current family and parenting dynamics and helps people build more supported ways of relating.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, adjusting the plan as progress is made. The therapist and client set priorities together and try practical strategies in-session and between sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people work through emotional material with visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter verbal check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, coaching between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to get regular support around work, parenting schedules, and daily life.
