About Sharon
Sharon Blanchard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 30 years of experience. She has worked in K-12 school settings, taught graduate counseling courses, and provided individual counseling for adults and young people. Sharon focuses on common concerns such as depression, anxiety, parenting challenges, and relationship struggles.
She helps parents manage the demands of parenting challenging children and teens. She also supports young adults facing career choices, relationship changes, or questions about identity. Middle-age adults consult with her about big life decisions and transitions.
Her approach begins with listening closely to what a person says. She aims to help clients sort through confusing thoughts and feelings. That often leads to clearer choices and practical steps forward.
Sharon uses practical, evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques alongside client-centered conversation. She also draws on narrative and motivational interviewing styles to uncover values and next steps. Faith can be discussed in sessions if the client wants to include it.
Sessions focus on specific problems such as anger, grief, self-esteem, ADHD concerns, and blended family issues. She works on communication problems, coping with life changes, and career direction. People who want straightforward, respectful conversation about their situation may find this approach helpful.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the client's concerns back in a way that clarifies what matters most. Online sessions use that same style to let a person talk through parenting stress, relationship friction, or identity questions while the therapist follows the client's lead. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioral experiments. In remote sessions, a therapist can guide thought records, problem-solving steps, and practical homework that fits into daily routines. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage anxiety. These exercises can be demonstrated in a session and practiced between meetings to notice patterns and lower immediate stress. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that fit the client's goals, and adjust as needs change. Clients and the therapist work together to find what helps most. Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into weekdays, short breaks, or other routines. It also allows using worksheets, audio exercises, and brief check-ins without requiring travel, which many people find more practical.Areas of expertise
