About Sharonda
Sharonda Patrick is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 17 years of experience.
Background and approach
She supports people facing a wide range of concerns including stress and anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, depression, addictions, grief, trauma, intimacy questions, parenting challenges, and issues related to self-esteem and life purpose.
Her practice also addresses mood disorders, postpartum and post-traumatic responses, compassion fatigue, and a variety of interpersonal problems such as communication difficulties, infidelity, and commitment concerns. Sharonda uses evidence-informed methods to help clients identify practical steps forward and build on their existing strengths.
She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help unpack thought patterns and develop coping skills, and from Solution-Focused Therapy to create brief, goal-oriented plans that feel manageable. Her approach emphasizes the client as the expert in their own life while offering guidance, structure, and encouragement through the change process.
Sharonda welcomes the courage it takes to begin therapy and aims to make the next steps clear and attainable.
Practical therapeutic approaches for online care
Sharonda commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach focuses on building concrete coping skills for issues like anxiety, depression, and mood-related challenges. She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on setting achievable goals and spotting small changes that lead to meaningful progress for problems such as relationship conflict, communication difficulties, and life transitions.Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process in her practice. She works with each client to clarify goals, explore what has helped or hindered in the past, and adapt methods to fit personal preferences and circumstances so the plan feels realistic and aligned with what the client hopes to accomplish.
The online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow for flexible scheduling and ongoing support between visits. These options make it easier to access consistent care from a licensed professional without the constraints of travel, letting clients maintain momentum and apply tools in real time as life unfolds.
