    About Sharon

    Dr. Sharon Anderson is a Colorado psychologist with 19 years of professional experience. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, relationships, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She offers straightforward support and helps people set workable goals they can actually take steps toward.

    Her approach is warm and nonjudgmental. Sessions are a place to talk about thoughts, feelings, and behaviors without feeling criticized. She helps people break problems into smaller steps and build confidence through practice and reflection.

    Dr. Anderson uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their reasons for change and strengthen motivation. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different actions. Those methods are paired with a client-centered stance that treats each person as the expert on their life.

    She has worked with many concerns tied to mood and life transitions, including depression, grief, anger, career strain, and seasonal mood shifts. Additional focuses include communication problems, codependency, feelings of emptiness, and multicultural concerns.

    People working with her can expect clear, practical steps and a collaborative plan. She encourages small experiments between sessions and checks in on what’s working. To begin, readers are invited to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.

  2. How her approaches translate to online therapy

    Dr. Anderson draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and build willingness to try new things. This approach focuses on listening, asking helpful questions, and guiding people toward choices that fit their values and goals.

    She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test different actions. CBT gives concrete exercises and simple experiments to try between sessions, which often work well in remote formats. Her client-centered stance means sessions stay focused on the client's priorities and pace, with the therapist following the client's lead.

    Finding the right method is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose which approach or mix of approaches fits their needs and goals. That choice can shift as progress is made.

    The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep short check-ins and to try homework tasks in everyday settings. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered and can pick what fits your routine.
