About Sharon

Sharon Bryant is a licensed professional counselor in Georgia with 30 years of experience. She focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and challenges with self-esteem. Sharon keeps the first conversations simple and clear so parents and individuals can talk about what feels most urgent.

She offers a calm, nonjudgmental space and encourages small steps toward change. Sharon draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice thinking patterns that keep problems going.

Background and approach

She also uses motivational interviewing to build motivation for change and solution-focused ideas to set clear, realistic goals. Sessions aim to identify strengths and workable strategies rather than long explanations. Her background includes decades of direct practice supporting issues such as substance use, sleeping problems, postpartum mood shifts, intimacy-related concerns, and life transitions.

Sharon also has experience with aging and geriatric issues, workplace stress, and coping after natural or human-caused disasters. Sharon works in English and holds the Georgia Licensed Professional Counselor credential - LPC, license number GA LPC LPC012879. She offers several ways to meet, including video and phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

The format can be chosen to fit a parent's schedule or a client's daily life. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to connect people to her practice and then appointments are scheduled according to availability. Sessions are provided through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life

Sharon commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems like anxiety and low mood going. CBT focuses on practical exercises and small behavior changes that can lead to noticeable relief over time.

She also employs motivational interviewing to help people find and strengthen their own reasons for change. This approach is helpful when someone feels stuck or unsure about taking the next steps, and it aims to build confidence and commitment.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sharon will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels realistic. Together they decide which methods to use and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to receive support. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging give options for shorter check-ins or when schedules are tight. These formats make it easier to fit counseling into a busy family life or workday while keeping the focus on clear, practical steps.

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.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
