About Sharon

Sharon Calhoun is a licensed clinical social worker (LMSW) with 35 years of experience providing therapeutic support across Michigan. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, and relationship difficulties.

Background and approach

Her practice also addresses related issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency, blended family dynamics, and challenges stemming from family of origin and fatherhood roles. Her approach blends practical problem-solving with attention to emotional patterns and life transitions.

Sharon draws on methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside motivational and solution-focused techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thinking, develop coping skills, and set achievable goals. She aims to help clients strengthen self-understanding, improve communication, and build resilience.

Therapy with Sharon emphasizes collaboration and a respectful pace tailored to each person’s needs. She works with adults at different life stages and adapts interventions to address issues from aging concerns to substance use and relational conflict.

Her practice prioritizes clear, compassionate guidance to support meaningful change.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Sharon uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and reframe unhelpful thoughts and habits, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress through structured practice and skill-building. Attachment-Based Therapy is another element of her work that explores patterns in close relationships and supports changes in how people connect and communicate, often useful for those struggling with intimacy, abandonment concerns, or family relationship patterns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. She collaborates with each client to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress and challenges emerge. That collaborative stance helps tailor sessions whether the focus is coping skills, trauma processing, or improving communication.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, accommodate accessibility needs, and fit therapy into busy routines while still working with licensed professionals to pursue meaningful change.
