About Sharon

Sharon Salichs is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who offers practical, straightforward support in Spanish and English. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and the challenges that come with life changes. Sharon uses clear communication and down-to-earth tools so conversations stay focused and useful.

Sharon trained at the Interamerican University of Puerto Rico, earning a Master’s degree in Professional Counseling after completing a Bachelor’s in Psychology.

Background and approach

She holds the Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential - FL LMHC MH24029 - and brings eight years of clinical experience to her work. Her style emphasizes the person in front of her. She combines client-centered listening with practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.

Narrative therapy is part of her toolkit when exploring the stories people tell themselves, and solution-focused methods help set short-term goals that feel doable. Sessions often move at a steady, problem-solving pace. Sharon can help clients sort priorities, build coping skills, reduce overwhelming anxiety, and work through grief or trauma at a comfortable pace.

She also addresses areas like parenting stress, caregiver strain, communication problems, and burnout. Sharon offers a mix of video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging for flexible care. Spanish-language support is available for those who prefer it.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and creating a respectful space. The therapist follows the client's lead, clarifies what matters most, and helps people set goals that feel relevant to their life. This approach is especially helpful when someone needs support processing emotions or gaining perspective. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps identify patterns of thought that add to stress or anxiety and then tests small behavior changes to see what works. It is useful for managing worry, low mood, and impulsive reactions by teaching practical tools to try between sessions. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. Over a few sessions they may combine listening, narrative exploration, CBT skill-building, or solution-focused steps until a helpful mix emerges. Online formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work for those who prefer voice, and live chat or text-based messaging supports short check-ins or ongoing feedback. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit into a busy life while still focusing on concrete goals and gradual progress.

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.

Narrative Therapy

Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
