About Shara
Shara Trumbull is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of practice in Tennessee. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and family concerns. Her approach is warm and practical, aimed at helping parents and adults find clearer ways to cope and communicate.
She uses a faith-informed perspective when clients want it, while keeping sessions focused on everyday steps. Conversations often center on building self-understanding, improving communication, and working through past hurts.
Background and approach
Sessions are paced to match each person's situation and comfort level. Over a long career Shara has worked with issues that include trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, intimacy struggles, parenting challenges, and career transitions. She also addresses specific concerns such as attachment issues, caregiver stress, codependency, and family of origin problems.
Her background gives her lots of experience with complicated family patterns. Shara relies on Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to guide her work. That looks like paying close attention to relationship patterns and offering a supportive, nonjudgmental space for clients to speak.
She helps people notice their patterns, try new ways of relating, and practice clearer communication. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She helps parents and adults set small goals and try practical strategies between sessions.
People looking for steady, experienced support for family and parenting concerns will find a straightforward, compassionate approach.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how people connect in relationships. In practice she helps clients notice patterns in close relationships and try different ways of relating that feel safer and more genuine. This approach is useful for family dynamics, parenting concerns, and attachment issues.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and support. The therapist follows each person's pace, reflects what she hears, and helps clients find their own solutions. This method suits people who want a respectful, collaborative space to work through stress, grief, or life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each client about needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend how to combine these methods. That process is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. These options allow sessions around work and family schedules and let people choose the format that feels most comfortable. Online formats also make it easier to keep continuity during life transitions and busy periods.
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.
