About Sharon

Dr. Sharon Belhamel is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Georgia with 20 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and career concerns, and coping with life changes. Her profile also lists blended family issues among other focus areas, so she often supports people navigating stepfamily dynamics and related tensions.

She uses straightforward, conversational sessions where people talk through current problems and make practical plans. Her clinical approaches include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). That gives several tools to address emotions, patterns, and behavior changes.

In sessions she aims to help clients notice what matters to them, identify unhelpful patterns, and practice small changes. For relationship and blended household concerns she focuses on communication, boundaries, and managing competing loyalties. For mood or anxiety issues she often uses behavior-based techniques and present-focused skills.

Sharon’s background combines two decades of practice with an interest in whole-person wellbeing. She draws on different therapeutic methods rather than a single one. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with time spent on skills practice and real-life steps clients can try between appointments.

Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details via the online intake flow.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed steps that match those values. It helps when people feel stuck by anxiety or life changes and want to move toward a life that matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep distress going, teaching practical skills to reduce symptoms and change routines.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and the therapist choose techniques together rather than following a single fixed plan.

The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the available session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time from a schedule. Some approaches lend themselves to exercises you can practice between sessions, which suits remote work well. Ask about session length and format when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements fit your routine.
