How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Sharon works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. Cognitive-behavioral approaches involve identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and lessen panic symptoms. Techniques often include skill practice and short experiments between sessions to see what helps in everyday life.Trauma-informed methods focus on stabilizing reactions and building coping tools for post-traumatic stress and abuse-related symptoms. This typically means starting with grounding and pacing, then gradually addressing harder material when the person feels able. For anger and impulsivity she uses behavioral strategies that teach alternative responses and new routines to reduce escalation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan over time rather than committing to a single method up front.
