About Sharon

Sharon Bryant is a Georgia licensed professional counselor (LPC) with three decades of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and self-esteem challenges. She centers therapy on each person's strengths and practical resources, guiding clients toward clearer thinking and more effective coping.

Background and approach

Sharon emphasizes a collaborative atmosphere where thoughts and emotions can be expressed openly without judgment, and she recognizes that reaching out for help is a meaningful first step. Her work often focuses on improving day-to-day functioning and addressing specific concerns such as sleep difficulties, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, and workplace stress.

Sharon also brings experience with aging and geriatric matters, mood and postpartum concerns, substance use, and life transitions like divorce or midlife reassessment. Her clinical approach favors practical, evidence-informed strategies that support problem solving and motivation while building resilience.

Clients can expect an approachable, goal-oriented style that blends thought-focused techniques with motivational conversations and solution-focused planning. Sharon aims to help people identify actionable changes, strengthen self-compassion, and move toward clearer goals at a pace that fits their needs.

How evidence-informed approaches translate to online care

Sharon uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical behavior changes that can reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Motivational interviewing is another part of her work, offering a collaborative way to explore ambivalence and support commitment to change for concerns like substance use or lifestyle goals.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sharon works with each person to evaluate goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past, then tailors a plan that may combine CBT, motivational strategies, and solution-focused steps to address immediate problems and longer-term growth.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make scheduling more flexible and allow work to continue from home or during busy weeks. These formats support ongoing skill practice, check-ins between sessions, and methods that fit different communication preferences, helping clients access consistent care without rearranging major aspects of daily life.
