About Sharon
Sharon Esters is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and changes that come with relationships and family life. Sharon also supports people dealing with ADHD, addictions, and issues around self-esteem and body image.
Her background includes focused work with LGBT clients and people navigating sexuality, including BDSM and kink matters. She helps individuals sort through communication problems, commitment worries, control issues, and the emotional fallout from separation or divorce. Sharon brings steady, direct attention to feelings like guilt, shame, emptiness, and impulsivity.
Sessions tend to be practical and goal-oriented. Sharon uses client-centered conversation to hear what matters most, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness exercises are used to slow reactivity and increase awareness of bodily cues that often precede anger or anxiety.
Clients can expect straightforward discussions about behavior patterns, clear steps to practice between meetings, and short-term strategies from solution-focused work when a quick change is the priority. She frames work around concrete problems such as workplace stress, parenting strain, or recurring relationship patterns.
Sharon values discussing identity and culture when it affects emotion and behavior. People who want direct, practical tools to handle anger, improve communication, or manage mood swings will find a clear, structured approach here.
How Sharon uses practical approaches online
Sharon uses client-centered work to lead conversations around what matters most to each person. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting back what is said, and helping the client name goals and priorities. It is useful when someone needs space to sort feelings about relationships, identity, or parenting.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another common tool she uses. CBT looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps when anger or anxiety comes from repetitive negative thinking and when someone wants concrete steps to change patterns.
Mindfulness techniques are used to notice physical and emotional signals before they escalate. These are brief practices to reduce reactivity, improve grounding, and make it easier to try new responses in stressful moments.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Sharon collaborates with each person to decide which tools fit their goals, lifestyle, and challenges. Goals and preferences guide whether sessions focus more on skill practice, problem-solving, or deeper reflection.
