About Sharon

Sharon Blanchard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 30 years of experience. She has worked in K-12 school settings, taught graduate-level counseling courses, and supported adults through common mental health concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, and anger.

She has helped parents manage the demands of raising challenging children and teens. She also works with young adults figuring out work, relationships, and identity. Middle-age adults who face difficult choices have sought her guidance as they navigate life transitions.

Her approach emphasizes listening closely to what a person says. She aims to separate the noisy, unhelpful thoughts from clearer perspectives. Sharon uses that clarity to help people notice patterns and consider new ways of reacting to stressful situations.

Sharon integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Therapy alongside Narrative Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. This mix is used to clarify values, test different responses to anger or anxiety, and practice small behavior changes that add up.

She is open to discussing spiritual and faith concerns when clients want that to be part of sessions. Practical topics she often covers include parenting strategies, communication problems, control and impulsivity issues, and coping with grief or life change.

Getting started typically involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Sharon aims to help people reduce overwhelming reactions, build steadier responses, and move forward with clearer choices.

How Sharon blends approaches for online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps people feel understood and clarifies personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps with anger, anxiety, and low mood by testing small behavior changes and new ways of thinking.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Sharon will work with each client to identify which methods fit best for their goals, concerns, and life situation. Together they review what is helping and adjust the plan over time so sessions stay practical and relevant.

Session options should be confirmed before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into work or family schedules, allow shorter check-ins during a busy day, or reduce travel time. If you want to include faith or parenting topics, those can be woven into online work as part of the therapeutic choices discussed during the first sessions.
