Sharon Blanchard, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Sharon

Sharon Blanchard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who uses a patient, listening-first approach. She draws on three decades of counseling experience to help parents and adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting challenges. Sharon keeps the conversation practical and down-to-earth so busy families can find workable steps forward.

She has worked in K-12 school settings and taught graduate counseling courses. That background informs a calm, steady style when supporting parents of difficult children and teens.

Background and approach

Sharon also works with young adults sorting out identity, relationships, and early career decisions. Sharon believes people do their best with what they know. In sessions she listens carefully and helps clients name what matters most to them.

She uses straightforward talk to help people set small goals and notice changes in day-to-day life. Her approach blends Client-Centered Therapy with tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy. That mix supports managing anxiety, handling anger, and improving communication at home.

Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy techniques are added when people need help sorting values and life stories. Sharon is comfortable including faith conversations when a client wants that element. She aims to be whatever a person needs while they work toward clearer choices and a refreshed sense of self.

Her style is warm, respectful, and focused on practical next steps.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective and creating a supportive space. It helps people who need to feel heard while they figure out next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and habits and teaches specific skills to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Sharon treats finding the right approach as a shared process. She will work with clients to determine which methods fit best based on their goals, concerns, and what feels comfortable. That collaboration helps shape a plan that can change as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, and parenting responsibilities. They also let people check in in shorter ways when life is hectic while keeping longer sessions available when deeper work is needed.

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.
