About Sharon
Sharon Baxter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alabama with five years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, anger, and life changes. Sharon focuses on practical skills and clearer communication rather than labels or long lectures.
She uses straightforward conversation to help clients notice patterns that keep problems going. Sessions often include learning specific coping skills for strong feelings, practicing communication steps, and trying small behavior changes between meetings. Sharon draws on Client-Centered methods to keep the work focused on each person's concerns and priorities.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test them against real-life evidence. That can help reduce reactivity at work or in relationships and lower day-to-day anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are offered for tolerating intense emotions and building better emotion regulation skills.
Sharon pays attention to issues that come up with aging, blended families, caregiving stress, and workplace pressures. She also supports people grappling with separation, infidelity, loneliness, and questions about life purpose and self-worth. The work is practical and action-oriented, with skills to use between sessions.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow the LPC scope of practice in Alabama. Sharon asks new clients to complete a short intake questionnaire so early sessions can focus on what matters most. The emphasis is on steady progress, not quick fixes.
How Sharon blends approaches in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The therapist reflects back what she hears and helps people clarify goals and priorities. This approach supports people who want clear, person-focused conversation about anger and relationships.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It helps reduce reactive responses at work or at home by changing thinking patterns and trying new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for tolerating strong emotions and improving emotion regulation, which can be useful when anger feels intense.
Choosing the right mix of these approaches is a collaborative process. Sharon will work with each client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can change over time as skills grow and situations shift.

In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday or caregiving schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time.
