About Sharon
Sharon Forde Marshall is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 23 years of practice. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Sharon also works with concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, body image, caregiver strain, communication problems, and immigration-related stress.
Her approach mixes several well-known methods to fit the situation. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take value-driven action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her work when patterns of thinking and behavior keep someone stuck. Attachment-based ideas are drawn on to address how early relationships affect current bonds and reactions.
Sessions are conversational and focused on practical steps. Sharon aims to make discussions straightforward and concrete so people can try different ways of coping between meetings. She pays attention to how relationships and life events shape choices and emotions rather than relying on labels.
Over two decades of experience mean she has supported people through divorce, infidelity, midlife reassessments, and caregiver burnout. That background informs how she helps people sort through options and set manageable goals. She encourages clear, consistent work in session and between appointments.
People who choose her work through decisions about relationships, career shifts, or questions of life purpose. To begin, prospective clients follow the site’s intake steps to match and schedule an initial meeting.
How Sharon’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters and take small steps toward those values. Online sessions can use ACT exercises to clarify priorities and plan behavioral experiments between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In an online visit CBT tools can include short worksheets, thought records, and homework that fit into daily routines. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape responses and communication. Over video or phone sessions this approach emphasizes discussing relational patterns and practicing new interaction strategies.Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through what feels most useful based on your goals and preferences and adjust the approach as you try different strategies. You and the therapist decide together what to focus on and how to pace work.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving, or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins, use of camera-off phone conversations when needed, or sharing worksheets electronically to support practice between sessions. Discussing practical details during the intake helps match scheduling and session style to everyday life.
