About Sharon
Sharon Nielsen is an Ohio LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) with ten years of clinical experience working with adults. She sees people who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. Sharon also supports those wrestling with questions of life purpose, grief from loss or separation, and relationship difficulties.
She describes her work as straightforward and respectful. Sessions focus on identifying what is causing distress now and on practical steps to reduce overwhelm. Conversations often include how past attachment or abandonment experiences affect current relationships and mood. Sharon helps people notice patterns such as codependency, control issues, impulsivity, or chronic guilt and shame.
Sharon works with people facing family problems, divorce or separation, domestic violence histories, and co-morbid mental health concerns. She also addresses communication problems and the emotional fallout of workplace stress. For mood-related difficulties she talks through ways to manage intense emotions and limit disruptive behaviors.
Over time Sharon helps clients explore meaning and direction after a change in work, relationships, or health. She encourages practical goal-setting and gradual steps toward clearer priorities. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with attention to both immediate coping and longer-term patterns.
To begin, she asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sharon practices in Ohio and conducts sessions in English.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Sharon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage strong emotions and rethink unhelpful patterns. One common approach involves working on skills to regulate emotions and reduce impulsivity; this is useful for anger, mood swings, and overwhelming anxiety. Another focuses on examining attachment and abandonment patterns to improve communication and reduce relationship-driven distress; this helps when past hurts shape present interactions.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Sharon will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences, and then try strategies that match those needs. She checks in regularly and adjusts methods if something is not helping, so treatment stays practical and person-centered.

Therapists and licensed professionals often find that remote work supports consistent appointments and steady progress, while practical adjustments are made to suit day-to-day life.
