About Sharon

Dr. Sharon Belhamel is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who focuses on helping people navigate big life changes and ongoing stress. She speaks plainly and listens carefully to understand what matters most to each person.

Her style aims to make hard moments feel more manageable and to restore everyday functioning and hope. In sessions she blends practical tools with a broader view of wellbeing. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns.

Background and approach

She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and commit to small, meaningful changes. Her background includes two decades of clinical work and training as an LMFT. Over those 20 years she has supported people facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addiction, and compassion fatigue.

She also addresses concerns such as ADHD, bipolar disorder, and issues related to identity and intimacy. She tailors sessions to each person’s needs, combining skills practice with conversations about what feels most useful day to day. Expect straightforward feedback and concrete strategies for coping, communication, and emotion regulation.

Dr. Belhamel offers sessions in English and works with clients in Georgia as well as international clients. She provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It is often useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and decisions that come with life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and homework to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and many everyday struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist reviews goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then suggests a path forward. Clients and the therapist adjust the plan as needed so therapy fits real life.

Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between sessions. The mix of formats lets people choose what feels most comfortable while still getting consistent therapeutic support.

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.
