About Sharon

Sharon Overfelt, LPC, uses mindfulness-rooted, body-aware methods to help adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and trauma. She blends gentle somatic work with emotion-focused tools so people can notice patterns in their bodies and feelings. Sharon writes and speaks plainly, so conversations are clear and practical.

She practices from Texas and offers sessions online in English. Her pathway to counseling began after a career in business and information technology and a personal experience with mindfulness-based therapy.

Background and approach

That experience led her to train in somatic and emotion-focused practices and to shift careers into mental health. Sharon has seven years of clinical experience, including time as a primary therapist at an outpatient program in Plano, Texas. In sessions she draws on body-mind techniques and methods that use sensory and emotional awareness to process difficult memories and repeated patterns.

She also uses approaches that incorporate light, color, and eye movement work to help people work through strong emotions. Her style is calm, curious, and grounded in compassion. Sharon brings practical life experience as a mother and as a former business professional.

She aims to create a respectful space where people can talk through core fears, attachment patterns, and relationship difficulties. She focuses on real steps clients can try between sessions. Outside of work she spends time near lakes and the ocean and takes mindful walks.

Those practices inform the steady presence she brings to sessions and her focus on resilience and healing.

Mindful body-based methods and online care

Sharon uses somatic, mindfulness-informed therapy that helps people notice sensations in the body tied to stress and repeated relationship patterns. This approach supports people who feel stuck in reactive patterns or carried by old emotional responses by bringing gentle attention to physical cues and present-moment experience.

She also uses emotion-focused techniques that guide clients to identify, name, and work through strong feelings. Those methods can help when grief, shame, or anger get in the way of daily life and relationships. Both approaches are presented in clear, practical steps rather than technical language.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, pace, and comfort level. She invites clients to try things and then adjust the plan based on what helps most.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work and family life, and they allow follow-up contact between live meetings. The range of options supports flexibility while maintaining a consistent therapeutic relationship with a licensed professional.
