About Shara
Shara Biggs is a licensed professional counselor who uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people navigate difficult life moments. She focuses on clear goals and steady progress, and she adapts conversations to each person's situation. Shara speaks plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to a client before suggesting next steps.
Her work addresses a wide range of concerns, including addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, and stress.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing parenting challenges, relationship difficulties, grief, and issues with self-esteem. Additional areas she attends to include ADHD, eating or sleeping problems, and work or career stress. Shara draws from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy.
She uses tools from these methods to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts, practice new skills, and clarify values that guide change. Sessions aim to be practical and conversational rather than overly technical. With four years of experience as an LPC - licensed professional counselor - in Tennessee, Shara brings a steady, respectful presence to sessions.
She emphasizes sensitivity and compassion while tailoring plans to each person’s needs. Many people find being heard and having a clear plan helps them move forward. Therapy with Shara can include short-term coaching-style work or deeper exploration over time.
She matches approach and pace to what a client wants to accomplish and supports steps toward a more manageable, satisfying life.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Shara commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions that match those values, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often through practical exercises and skill practice that fit well into short online sessions.She approaches treatment collaboratively, so finding the right method is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try approaches that fit, and adjust the plan as progress and needs become clearer.
Online sessions are offered in several formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - to make care more flexible. These options let people choose what fits their schedule and comfort level, whether they prefer face-to-face conversation by video or shorter check-ins by message. The variety supports consistent work on goals without extra travel time.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
