About Sharon

Sharon Albert is an LPC practicing in Mississippi with three decades of experience in counseling and mental health.

Background and approach

She blends practical strategies with reflective exploration to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, parenting challenges, and mood-related disorders such as bipolar disorder. Her background includes clinical work alongside roles in education and law enforcement, which informs a grounded, pragmatic approach to care.

She favors collaborative planning that balances compassion with personal accountability, tailoring treatment to each person's circumstances. Sharon draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered, psychodynamic, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques to address issues like anger, self-esteem, career transitions, ADHD, and complexities such as blended family dynamics, codependency, and communication problems.

Her practice supports clients navigating life changes, coping skills, emotional regulation, and deeper patterns linked to guilt, shame, impulsivity, and identity concerns. With a Master of Science in Counselor Education and an LPC credential, Sharon emphasizes practical tools and reflective insight so clients can move toward clearer priorities and improved functioning.

She frames help-seeking as a courageous step and offers steady, experienced guidance through the therapeutic process.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Sharon uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teach practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT often includes goal-focused exercises and skills practice that can be adapted easily to remote sessions. She also draws on client-centered principles, which prioritize empathy and collaboration so clients feel heard while they explore goals and make changes; this approach supports working through relationship concerns, grief, and self-esteem issues.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sharon will work with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and what methods feel most useful, adjusting techniques over time so therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to access care from home or during busy schedules. These formats support ongoing skill practice, quick check-ins between sessions, and consistent progress when in-person options are limited, making it easier to maintain momentum in therapy while balancing daily responsibilities.
