    About Sharie

    Sharie Gilner is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Mississippi who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She emphasizes each person's strengths and works alongside them as they decide what change looks like. Sharie speaks plainly and offers steady support for anyone taking the first steps toward feeling better.

    Sharie uses a client-centered stance that puts the person's goals first. She pairs that with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. Motivational Interviewing is part of how she helps people find their own reasons to change and build confidence to act on them.

    Her experience includes supporting people coping with low self-esteem, body image concerns, and mood disorders. She also addresses post-traumatic stress, postpartum depression, and the lasting effects of abuse and domestic violence. Communication struggles, guilt and shame, and social anxiety are other areas she commonly helps with.

    Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Sharie aims to create a clear plan that fits each person's life. She encourages small, measurable steps and checks in on progress so adjustments can be made as needed.

    With six years of clinical work, Sharie draws on real-world experience when plans get stuck. She helps people sort through priorities, practice new skills, and notice changes over time. Her approach is collaborative and paced to each person's comfort.

  2. How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

    Sharie works from a client-centered perspective that places the person's goals and choices at the center of each session. This approach emphasizes listening, reflecting, and helping people set their own priorities so therapy aligns with what matters most to them.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to change mood and functioning. It is useful for anxiety, depression, social fears, and many daily struggles where practical skill practice helps. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method for strengthening a person's own motivation to change; it can help when someone feels stuck or unsure about the next step.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort. That process can include trying techniques from different approaches and adjusting based on what helps most.

    If you are considering online work, check the booking flow to confirm which session formats are offered before scheduling. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy fits into a work or family day. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, motivational conversations, and trauma-focused strategies to remote sessions while keeping the collaboration and goal-setting central to progress.
