About Sharon

Sharon Albert is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi with 30 years of experience. She has worked in mental health since 1999 and brings a background that includes school administration and ten years in law enforcement. She lists concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting, ADHD, and codependency among her areas of focus.

Her style blends practical and reflective approaches. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Psychodynamic ideas are used to look at recurring life patterns and how past relationships influence current choices. Solution-focused and mindfulness strategies are added to set clear goals and build present-moment skills.

Sessions aim to balance realistic action with deeper understanding. That might mean setting small practical steps to change a pattern, then looking at the feelings or stories that keep the pattern going. Sharon emphasizes personal responsibility alongside support, helping people recognize where they can make different choices.

She has experience with blended family concerns, commitment and communication problems, guilt and shame, anger and impulsivity, and career or money issues. Sharon also lists work with grief, bipolar and mood disorders, panic, personality concerns, and multicultural issues.

People who want straightforward, experience-based counseling and a mix of talking and skills work may find her approach clear and direct. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first appointment.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Sharon uses cognitive behavioral techniques that focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors; online sessions can include practical exercises and homework to practice between meetings. She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing skills that help with anxiety and stress, which can be learned and practiced during remote sessions.

Choosing an approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then try methods that match those priorities. That process is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

Session format options are not specified in the supplied profile, so confirm the current session arrangements before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so appointments can be scheduled around work or parenting demands. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, solution-focused goal work, and mindfulness practices to remote meetings so the therapy can fit everyday life without a big scheduling overhaul.
