    About Sharon

    Sharon Blanchard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with three decades of experience. She combines practical talk, listening, and a gentle guide-through approach to help people untangle stress, anxiety, depression, parenting struggles, and relationship concerns. Sharon name-checks faith when clients want to include it, and she aims to help each person find clearer direction and hope.

    Sharon spent much of her career counseling in K-12 school settings and teaching graduate counseling courses. That time shaped how she hears parents, teens, and young adults who are trying to sort out identity, behavior, and relationship patterns. She also works with people facing midlife decisions, career transitions, and grief or trauma concerns.

    In sessions she uses straightforward methods like Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, and narrative approaches. She listens first, helps clients name what matters, and then supports small, practical steps toward change. Sessions are conversational but focused on real-world shifts that fit daily life.

    Sharon describes her own experience with counseling as meaningful, and she draws on that perspective when she meets people who feel stuck or overwhelmed. She respects each person’s pace and faith preferences and aims to help clients develop a refreshed sense of self. Her style is calm, steady, and rooted in many years of hands-on work with diverse concerns.

    People who choose her often want a therapist who listens closely, helps sort through complicated emotions, and offers down-to-earth strategies for next steps. Sharon encourages anyone unsure about the process to begin with a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled session to see how the fit feels.

  2. How her approaches translate to online work

    Sharon uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and move toward goals at a comfortable pace. This approach focuses on questions, reflection, and small steps when motivation feels mixed or unclear.

    She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening, empathy, and following the client’s lead to better understand feelings and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another tool she uses to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors in everyday life.

    Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sharon collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift as progress is made, and she aims to keep clients involved in deciding what feels most helpful.

    Confirm the specific session options before booking, as formats are set by the therapist’s current practice. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time so people can meet from home or during a break. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for your routine and goals.
