About Sharon

Dr. Sharon Anderson is a Colorado psychologist with 19 years of professional experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem, coping with life changes, anger, career challenges, and depression. She practices in English and accepts international clients.

Sharon helps people talk through what is happening and set clear, manageable steps forward. She focuses on what the person wants to change and on small actions that can be tried between sessions. Conversations are straightforward and practical so progress can be measured and adjusted.

Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, among other methods. That means sessions pay attention to personal goals and to the thoughts and behaviors that shape daily life. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy also inform how she helps people find what will work for them next.

She has particular experience with issues that often sit alongside anger, such as communication problems, codependency, guilt and shame, loneliness, and life-purpose questions. She also works with mood disorders and seasonal affective disorder when these affect daily functioning.

Starting therapy with Sharon involves clarifying goals and trying concrete steps between visits. Her focus is on helping people recognize what gets in the way of change and on practical strategies they can use in the moment. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How therapy approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's goals and understanding their experience. In practice this means the therapist listens, reflects what matters to the client, and helps the client shape their own next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Online CBT sessions tend to include exercises to test new ways of thinking and small behavioral experiments to try between meetings.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they choose methods to try and adjust the approach based on what the client finds useful.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a workday, reduce travel time, or use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Many people find that remote meetings let them practice real-world changes between sessions and bring immediate examples into the conversation.
