About Sharon
Sharon Woodard is a licensed mental health counselor who uses a client-centered approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, and grief. She brings 15 years of experience to conversations about mood, relationships, and self-worth. Sharon focuses on practical steps that people can use between sessions.
Her work commonly addresses depression, panic, bipolar concerns, and post-traumatic stress. Sharon also supports people dealing with workplace strain, social anxiety, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
She helps people who struggle with shame, control issues, or feelings of isolation. Sharon blends straightforward cognitive behavioral techniques with dialectical behavior skills when helpful. She also uses trauma-focused methods and mindfulness tools to calm intense reactions and build new coping habits.
Sessions are guided by what each person needs in the moment rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Clients come to Sharon to rebuild self-love, sort through grief, and manage relationships and intimacy-related issues. She has particular experience supporting survivors of sexual assault and people navigating women's issues.
Her style is warm, steady, and practical, with attention to goals people name for themselves. Based in North Carolina, Sharon works to help people rediscover purpose and move forward after hard experiences. She outlines clear strategies, practices skills in session, and gives simple steps people can use in daily life.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Sharon uses a mix of approaches that translate well to online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, understanding, and shaping the pace of work around the person's needs; it helps when someone wants a supportive space to talk and reflect. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors together and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, depressive symptoms, and panic attacks.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then tailor techniques to fit. You and the therapist can try different methods and adjust the plan as you see what helps most.
Online therapy offers multiple ways to connect. Video calls let you work face to face and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or have shorter, more frequent touch points. These options provide flexibility for people managing busy schedules, work breaks, or varying energy levels.
