About Sharon
Sharon Esters is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with six years of clinical experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and family challenges, and issues such as codependency and addiction. Sharon also supports those navigating ADHD, parenting strains, and identity concerns for LGBT clients.
Sharon uses clear, person-focused conversations to help people sort through what feels overwhelming. She listens for patterns that keep someone stuck - for example people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or losing a sense of self in relationships. She then helps clients try small, practical steps to test different ways of responding.
Her sessions often include skills from cognitive behavioral therapy to challenge unhelpful thoughts. She also draws on client-centered work to follow what matters most to the person in the room. Mindfulness techniques are used to help manage intense feelings and bring attention back to the present.
Sharon pays attention to life context such as family roles, caregiving stress, and workplace pressures. She also addresses sexual expression and alternative sex culture topics like BDSM and kink when they come up. Conversations about abandonment, commitment fears, or control issues are held alongside concrete behavior strategies.
People who prefer straightforward guidance mixed with reflective listening describe this approach as practical. Sharon helps set small goals, track what changes, and adjust plans as needed. To begin, people are invited to complete the initial matching steps through the platform and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Approaches explained and what online sessions are like
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. The therapist reflects concerns, prioritizes the client's goals, and supports decisions without imposing solutions. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, understanding presence while they sort out personal priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches skills to test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, codependency patterns, and habit changes.
Mindfulness practices teach simple attention skills to notice feelings and reduce reactivity. These techniques are often paired with CBT or client-centered work to manage intense emotions and improve focus.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals, try interventions, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process makes it easier to find a mix of strategies that fit your needs and preferences.

Therapists often adapt tools like CBT exercises and mindfulness practices so they can be used effectively in remote sessions.
