About Sharon
Sharon Woodard is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 15 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, anger, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and other mood concerns. Sharon focuses on practical skills clients can use day to day.
She favors clear, conversational sessions where people talk through what’s happening and try small experiments between meetings. Sharon uses client-centered listening alongside cognitive behavioral strategies to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness practices when those fit a person’s goals.
Sharon has long experience helping people recover from sexual assault, navigate workplace stress, and address issues around shame, control, and abandonment. She supports people managing mood disorders, panic, ADHD, and post-traumatic stress by breaking large problems into manageable steps. Practical coping skills and steady pacing are central to her work.
In sessions she helps clients build healthier habits for handling anger, reduce isolation, and strengthen self-regard. She pays attention to how daily routines, relationships, and work life affect emotions. Her approach mixes talking, skills practice, and attention to what actually happens between sessions.
People who choose Sharon can expect straightforward, skills-focused therapy aimed at clearer thinking and steadier behavior. She asks about current struggles, life context, and realistic short-term goals before shaping the plan. Progress is measured by everyday changes clients notice.
Therapeutic approaches used in online work
Sharon commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her practice. CBT focuses on spotting thought patterns that lead to stress and testing small behavior changes to see what helps. DBT teaches hands-on skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and building interpersonal effectiveness.She also uses client-centered listening to keep sessions grounded in what matters to the person. Determining which approach or mix of approaches fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist and client look at current needs, goals, and what feels workable, then try methods and adjust over time.
Confirm the therapist's available session formats before you book, since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, shorten a check-in, or avoid travel time. They can also allow sessions without being on camera if that helps with focus or bandwidth. Discuss practical preferences when you schedule so sessions match your day-to-day life.
