About Shara
Shara Biggs is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with four years of clinical experience. She works with people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, and other life stressors. Sessions are conducted in English and focused on practical steps the client can use between meetings.
Shara emphasizes straightforward conversation and evidence-informed approaches. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to address coping skills, patterns of thinking, and relationship dynamics. Those methods are used to help people notice what matters to them and take small, manageable actions toward it.
In sessions she attends to issues such as codependency, abandonment, communication problems, and intimacy-related difficulties. She also supports people managing caregiving stress, chronic illness, grief, and career strain. Shara includes work on practical skills like emotion regulation, boundary setting, and problem solving.
She approaches treatment plans with flexibility, matching strategies to what a person needs right now. Conversations focus on concrete tools and experiments to try between sessions. The goal is to help clients make changes they can maintain in daily life.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and values and choose actions that align with what matters to them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and patterns like people-pleasing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. It is practical for mood, anxiety, and changing repetitive responses in relationships. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relational patterns shape current close relationships and can help with intimacy issues and attachment concerns.Finding the right approach is often part of early work. The therapist will discuss which methods fit a person's goals, needs, and preferences and try different techniques together. That collaborative decision making helps tailor sessions to what actually helps in day-to-day life.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find it simpler to practice skills between sessions when meetings happen where they normally live and work, and therapists can assign exercises and behavioral experiments to try between meetings.
