About Shari

Shari Wind is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 14 years of experience. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationships, family tension, low self-esteem, and depression. Her style is direct and compassionate, aimed at helping people feel understood and more able to move forward.

Shari adapts conversations and plans to each person’s situation. She listens for patterns that come from past experiences and how those patterns affect present choices.

Background and approach

Together she helps clients identify fears and barriers that stop them from living the life they want. Relationship work looks at both how clients relate to others and how they relate to themselves. That can mean addressing attachment concerns, body image, divorce and separation, or problems with guilt and shame.

Her focus also includes finding purpose, building self-love, and handling social anxiety and phobias. Shari describes counseling as a team effort. She brings honesty, engagement, and straightforward feedback while aiming to understand each person’s perspective.

The goal is to create practical steps that reduce feeling stuck and increase confidence. Her approach is rooted in evidence-based therapeutic techniques applied in a simple, conversational way. Sessions emphasize small, doable changes so progress feels achievable.

She tailors the work to each client’s needs and pace so the plan fits real life.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Access

Shari uses established, evidence-based techniques delivered in plain language so people know what to expect. One common approach focuses on understanding how past experiences shape present feelings and reactions; this helps with attachment issues, relationship patterns, and recurring fears. Another approach emphasizes building small, practical skills for managing anxiety and low mood, such as pacing activities, practicing self-compassion, and testing unhelpful beliefs.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with clients to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That shared planning means techniques can be adjusted over time until they feel useful and realistic.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Sessions can take place by video call, by phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging depending on what works best for the person. This variety makes it easier to keep continuity, fit therapy into busy schedules, and use the format that helps someone engage most effectively.
