Background and approach
Sharon offers therapy remotely so people in outstate Nebraska can connect without traveling into town. Her work emphasizes straightforward talk, practical strategies, and collaborative problem solving. She uses techniques from cognitive behavior approaches and behavior activation to address mood, worry, and daily routines.
Sessions focus on what’s working now and small steps that lead to change. Sharon draws on trainings that include teen support, suicide prevention, Divorce Busting, and family-focused work. She aims to create a nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be discussed openly.
Parents find her experience helpful when parenting demands feel overwhelming or when they need fresh tools for family conflict. Taking the first step can feel hard. Sharon offers calm guidance and a plan-oriented approach to help people move toward a more manageable, satisfying life.

Practical approaches for parenting and life changes online
Sharon uses evidence-based techniques in simple, usable ways. Cognitive behavior approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments, which helps with anxiety, low mood, and parenting stress. Behavior activation targets daily routines and pleasant activities to lift mood and increase energy, making small, achievable changes that add up.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will talk with each person about their goals, daily realities, and what feels most useful, then try techniques together and adjust based on results. This collaborative process helps people find methods they can actually use between sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed, chat can fit a short break at work, and text messaging supports brief ongoing coaching or check-ins. These options offer flexibility for busy parents and people balancing school or work commitments.
