About Sharonda
Sharonda Patrick is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 17 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, grief, and questions around life purpose. She also supports people dealing with intimacy and parenting concerns, career changes, and compassion fatigue.
Sharonda approaches therapy as a collaborative process. She treats clients as experts on their own lives and helps them notice strengths they already have. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer thinking, and small changes that can reduce overwhelm.
Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means she helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking. It also means she helps clients set short-term, achievable goals and build on what is working now.
In conversation she aims to keep things direct and usable. Clients can expect conversations about behavior, thinking patterns, and immediate strategies to manage symptoms. She supports people who are coping with big life changes and those who feel stuck after work, relationship, or health transitions.
Sharonda encourages practical planning alongside emotional processing. She helps people break decisions into steps and weigh options. If you are questioning what comes next or want clearer direction, she can help you sort priorities and try small experiments to see what fits.
How her approaches translate to online work
Sharonda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in ways that fit well with online sessions. CBT involves identifying thoughts and behavior patterns and testing small changes; it helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by giving concrete skills to try between meetings. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on setting near-term goals and building on what already works; it is useful for people who want quick, practical steps toward clearer direction.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will help clients decide which techniques to try first based on individual needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting work into busy days and keeping momentum between meetings. Confirm current session formats before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled. Many clients find online sessions make it easier to keep regular appointments, try short check-ins when needed, and apply strategies in daily life without extra travel.
