About Sharon

Sharon Cutbirth is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 12 years of experience. She focuses on common life challenges like stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, career concerns, and parenting. Sharon aims to meet people where they are and make the first step into therapy feel manageable.

She uses straightforward conversation to understand what is most important to each person. Sessions are shaped to fit individual needs rather than relying on one fixed method.

Background and approach

Sharon emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in how she works with others. Her work often includes practical tools to reduce worry and manage difficult feelings. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns and Mindfulness Therapy to help with staying present.

Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy also appear in her approach when clients want to clarify goals and make concrete changes. Sharon has experience addressing family concerns, relationship stress, trauma and grief, anger, and life transitions. She also pays attention to areas such as ADHD, autism and Asperger syndrome, codependency, communication and control issues, and coping after disasters.

Her background includes helping with isolation, guilt and shame, and finding life purpose. Conversations with Sharon are intended to be practical and collaborative. She works with each person to develop a plan that fits their situation and goals.

For people looking for a steady, respectful guide through tough times, her approach is calm and solution-oriented.

How Sharon Uses Practical Approaches Online

Sharon commonly blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors to find specific patterns that keep problems going, and then introduces concrete exercises to change them. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and help people stay present during stressful moments.

She also draws on Motivational Interviewing when people need help finding motivation for change. That approach involves asking clear questions, listening carefully, and helping clients set their own priorities. Sharon sees choosing the right method as a team effort and will work with each person to find what fits best based on goals and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules. These options let people keep regular contact and use tools or exercises between sessions. The flexibility helps people try different ways of working and find what helps them make steady progress.

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.

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.
