About Sharie

Sharie Scott is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She brings three years of counseling experience and focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, parenting, anger, self-esteem, and related family and parenting concerns. She writes and talks plainly so parents can understand next steps.

Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sharie uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused work, and mindfulness to address everyday problems. Sessions often involve identifying small changes a person can try between meetings.

Background and approach

She uses motivational interviewing techniques to help people find their own reasons for change and stay motivated. Clients can expect a calm, respectful tone in sessions. Sharie aims to listen first, then work together on goals that matter to each person or family.

She emphasizes building practical skills for coping with grief, trauma, relationship strain, parenting stress, and life transitions. Her background includes service in the U.S. Navy and many years of community counseling, which shaped her focus on teamwork and problem solving.

That mix of experience informs how she responds to issues like multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, and veteran and armed forces issues. Sharie offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Therapy is offered through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled based on availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centered work focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist creates space for each person to describe goals and struggles, and then helps shape the plan around those priorities. This approach is helpful for building trust and clarifying what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. Sessions involve identifying unhelpful patterns and testing small behavior changes to see if things improve. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and many daily stressors.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them. It can help reduce overwhelm and improve focus during parenting or stressful life changes.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to choose what fits their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan over time based on what helps.

Online therapy brings these methods to video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. That variety makes it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to continue work between meetings. The formats support flexible pacing, so parents can use short messages or a full video visit depending on what works best for them.

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.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
