About Sharon
Sharon Franklin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She also addresses concerns like abandonment, attachment issues, adoption and foster care matters, and codependency.
She previously worked as a school counselor and carried that experience into clinical practice. Sessions are straightforward and focused on practical steps. Conversations tend to be direct and oriented toward what to do next rather than long theoretical discussions.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered methods, and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT). Those methods are used to identify unhelpful thinking, try new behaviors, and practice different ways of coping with emotional pain. She also uses solution-focused techniques to work on immediate problems and goals.
Sharon aims to listen carefully and give clear feedback. She helps people build skills for managing anxiety, setting clearer boundaries, and handling grief or trauma reminders. Work in sessions often includes skill practice, problem-solving, and planning next steps to try between meetings.
She offers therapy in English and works from a Texas practice. The site’s matching process asks a few questions before scheduling a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Sharon uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this helps with anxiety, depression, and patterns that feed codependency. She also draws on Person-Centered methods that keep the conversation focused on the person’s experience and goals rather than on the therapist’s agenda. Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy is used to challenge rigid beliefs that can maintain guilt, shame, or repeated relationship patterns.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that match those priorities. Clients and the therapist decide together what feels useful and adjust the plan over time.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for a quick check-in when life gets hectic. Phone sessions may be useful for shorter updates or when bandwidth is limited, while video lets people practice communication skills visually. Licensed professionals can help match the format to each person’s needs and schedule.
