Background and approach

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered techniques and motivational interviewing to help clients identify unhelpful patterns, build resilience, and set achievable goals. Narrative and solution-focused strategies are woven in as appropriate to strengthen problem-solving and meaning-making.

Licensed as an LCSW in Florida and an LICSW in Washington, Sharell frames treatment around each client’s preferences and strengths, offering messaging and live chat formats in line with her current availability.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic, and related mood concerns. It emphasizes practical exercises and skills that can be practiced between sessions to build coping capacity. Client-Centered Therapy centers the individual's experience, prioritizing empathy, acceptance, and collaboration so clients can explore their values and make choices that align with their goals.

Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sharell works collaboratively with each person to determine which combination of methods fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting course as progress and priorities evolve. This collaborative stance helps tailor care to what actually helps the client in daily life.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access consistent support around work, family, and other commitments, and they allow licensed professionals to deliver skills-based and narrative work in formats that suit different communication styles and schedules.
