Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Sharon Calhoun, LMSW, integrates practical and relationship-informed approaches that can work especially well in online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns between thoughts, emotions, and actions, then practicing new ways of responding. It is often used to address stress, anxiety, depression, and the day-to-day habits that keep people feeling stuck.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships and life experiences can influence current connections, boundaries, and self-worth. This approach can be helpful for relationship concerns, abandonment themes, codependency, and family-of-origin issues. Sharon also draws from Trauma-Focused Therapy to help clients build steadier coping skills and make sense of the impact of difficult experiences at a pace that feels manageable.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sharon collaborates with clients to clarify goals, identify what is most urgent, and choose strategies that fit their needs and preferences, adjusting as therapy progresses.

Online therapy also offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Clients can meet Sharon by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to keep support consistent during busy weeks, transitions, or times when getting to an office is not practical.
