About Sharon
Dr. Sharon Belhamel is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with two decades of clinical experience helping people navigate major life transitions, stress, anxiety, depression, and a wide range of relational and personal concerns.
Background and approach
She draws on a holistic perspective that honors emotional, relational, and practical aspects of change while collaborating with clients to create manageable steps forward. Her practice addresses issues such as grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, intimacy-related struggles, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue, as well as additional complex areas like attachment challenges, blended family dynamics, and chronic illness concerns.
Sharon uses evidence-informed approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Based in Georgia and licensed as GA LMFT MFT000941, she accepts English-speaking clients and works with both domestic and international clients.
She offers flexible session formats including video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging, and participates in a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients begin by choosing the Start Therapy button and completing a brief matching questionnaire to schedule according to therapist availability.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and gently shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and build psychological flexibility by combining acceptance strategies with committed action toward meaningful goals. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of relating and emotional bonds formed in early life to improve how clients connect with others and manage relationship distress.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative rather than fixed. The therapist works with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences and will draw from CBT, ACT, attachment work, or other methods as appropriate to tailor a treatment plan over time.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility for people balancing work, family, or geographic constraints. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access sessions from different locations, and select the communication style that best supports progress and comfort.
