About Sharee

Sharee Gunner is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 13 years of clinical experience in a mental health clinic setting. She has worked with children, adolescents, adults, and families, providing evaluation, treatment planning, individual counseling, and group work.

Background and approach

Her background includes supporting people facing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, ADHD, parenting challenges, and responses to trauma among other concerns. Her counseling style is warm, client-focused, and adaptable.

She emphasizes meeting clients where they are and tailoring interventions to their individual needs, combining person-centered principles with evidence-informed techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing. She aims to be respectful, empathetic, and culturally aware while allowing clients to take the lead when appropriate.

Sharee invites prospective clients to connect when they feel ready and notes that she currently has early morning weekend availability. As an LMHC practicing in New York, she brings over a decade of hands-on experience supporting interpersonal goals and helping clients navigate a range of emotional and behavioral concerns.

Approaches for Online Care and Finding the Best Fit

Sharee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is often applied to anxiety, mood difficulties, insomnia, and patterns that affect daily functioning. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore relational patterns and how early connections influence current relationships, which can be useful for family, intimacy, and trust-related concerns. In practice she blends these methods with a person-centered stance that prioritizes the client’s perspective and goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively to determine what fits a client’s needs, preferences, and goals. Together they assess what techniques feel most helpful and adjust course as therapy progresses to ensure the plan remains relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to arrange appointments around work, family, and other commitments while maintaining consistent access to licensed professionals who can guide treatment using CBT, attachment-informed work, and client-centered care.
