Dr. Sharon Anderson, CO Psychologist PSY.0001971

About Sharon

Dr. Sharon Anderson is a Colorado-licensed psychologist with 19 years of professional experience. She focuses on practical help for everyday pressures like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions.

She aims to make the first step less daunting and supports people as they clarify goals for change. Her style is straightforward and warm. She offers a calm space where thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can be talked about without judgment.

Background and approach

Sessions emphasize clear goals and simple steps clients can try between meetings. Dr. Anderson uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - to identify thought patterns that keep problems going.

She also relies on Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's priorities and pace. These methods combine to address mood, motivation, and day-to-day coping skills. She works with issues that often affect family life, such as communication problems, codependency, grief, and general family problems.

Her work also covers specific areas like seasonal affective disorder, midlife transitions, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. In sessions she helps clients break big concerns into small, manageable goals. Treatment plans are practical and adjusted over time.

The emphasis is on tools people can use between sessions to feel more in control and move toward their goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following each person's priorities. The therapist mirrors concerns back, helps clients name what matters most, and supports their own pace for change. This approach is useful for building trust and clarifying goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. Sessions use simple exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and to practice different responses. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they shape a plan and adjust methods over time to match progress and needs.

Online therapy here can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. These options make it easier to connect from different places and to choose formats that match comfort and lifestyle. The focus is on flexible, regular contact so clients can work on goals between sessions and build lasting habits.

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.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
