About Sharon
Dr. Sharon Hansen is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Wisconsin with six years of experience as a mental health therapist and nearly 30 years as a school counselor. She works with people who are feeling stuck by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and life changes. She also focuses on family of origin issues, panic and post-traumatic stress, seasonal affective disorder, and questions about life purpose.
Her sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. She uses practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people notice patterns and try small changes. She also draws on Client-Centered and Motivational Interviewing strategies to keep the work focused on what matters to the person in front of her.
Sharon aims to adapt the conversation to each person's situation. That can mean clarifying immediate coping steps for panic or building an ongoing plan for mood and stress. She explains options plainly and checks in about what is and isn’t working.
Her background in school counseling means she has long experience listening to people during big transitions. That history informs how she talks about life purpose and next steps after work, relationship, or health changes. The approach is practical and conversational rather than abstract.

How therapeutic approaches fit with online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. It helps people name priorities and feel understood while deciding what to try next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and gives concrete exercises to test different ways of thinking and acting. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and seasonal mood changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals and preferences and suggest methods that match those needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as the client notices what helps and what does not.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific format details. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into weekday breaks, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use homework tools and exercises together with the therapist between appointments, which can help translate session insights into daily life.
