About Shara
Shara Trumbull is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Tennessee with 25 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship and family concerns. She also helps with addictions, grief, intimacy issues, codependency, ADHD, parenting strain, and career or life transitions.
Shara uses an approach that centers on attachment and on listening to each person's concerns. Sessions are person-focused and aim to improve communication, address patterns that cause pain, and build better coping skills. She brings straightforward guidance rather than jargon, and she includes life context like faith and values when clients want that considered.
In practice Shara often helps people notice repeated patterns from early relationships and how those patterns affect current choices. She talks through communication habits, boundary struggles, and the difficulty of saying no. Practical skills and clearer self-awareness are common focuses in her work.
For people carrying guilt, shame, or the urge to put others first, she explores ways to set limits and reconnect with personal priorities. She also supports those dealing with caregiver stress, cancer-related concerns, divorce, or family of origin issues. Sessions mix reflection with action steps clients can try between visits.
Shara’s background includes long experience in clinical social work in Tennessee and a steady practice with adults navigating major life stresses.

How sessions work
How attachment and client-centered work translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how they shape current behavior. It helps people who struggle with trust, codependency, or repeating the same relationship problems identify where those patterns come from and try different ways of relating.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and on the person’s own goals. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what is said, and helps the person name what they want to change or understand better. This approach suits concerns like low self-esteem, grief, and relationship stress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Shara will collaborate with each person to decide what feels most useful based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean focusing more on attachment material, on practical communication skills, or blending both.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and can let someone join from a quieter place. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to remote work so clients can address codependency, boundary setting, and communication struggles without needing to rearrange their whole day.
