About Sharon
Dr. Sharon Anderson is a Colorado psychologist (CO Psychologist PSY.0001971) with 19 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. Her work also covers self-esteem, motivation, and coping with life changes.
Sharon uses clear, direct conversation to sort through what feels overwhelming. She listens for patterns that keep a person stuck, such as people-pleasing or difficulty saying no. Together she and the client set short, practical goals and take small steps toward them.
Her background includes approaches that focus on the client's experience and on changing thoughts and behaviors. She draws from client-centered methods to stay attentive to each person’s perspective. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors.
Sessions address a wide range of concerns beyond mood and anxiety. Sharon lists codependency, communication problems, dependent personality traits, grief, guilt and shame, isolation, and life purpose among areas she works on. She also supports people dealing with career stress, midlife questions, and seasonal mood shifts.
Sharon asks straightforward questions and offers practical strategies, not lengthy theory. The work tends to focus on what someone wants to change next and what small experiments they can try between sessions. People who want concrete steps and a collaborative approach often find this style useful.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist follow the client’s lead and check in about what matters most right now. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors with clear exercises and experiments. In an online setting CBT often uses brief between-session tasks and concrete steps to test new ways of thinking and acting.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those aims. If an approach needs adjustment, they will discuss changes together and shift focus as needed.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. It can also mean using exercises and worksheets you can do between meetings to keep progress moving. Licensed professionals often adapt methods so people can practice new skills in everyday life.
