About Sharon

Sharon Wright is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of professional experience. She practices in Florida and focuses on family and parenting concerns along with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues. Sharon brings steady, practical support and straightforward guidance to conversations about stress, addiction, grief, depression, and relationship difficulties.

Her style is warm and respectful. She listens first and helps people identify small, manageable steps. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented, with attention to how a person’s life and relationships affect their struggles.

Background and approach

She emphasizes what can be done in daily life rather than long, abstract theories. Sharon draws from cognitive behavioral ideas and acceptance-based work, plus mindfulness and client-centered techniques. She uses these methods to help clients notice patterns, try new behaviors, and build skills for coping with strong emotions.

She also brings experience addressing family problems, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and addiction-related concerns. People who reach out can expect clear explanations and practical exercises to try between meetings. Sharon helps clients address communication problems, anger, codependency, and intimacy concerns.

She also supports those dealing with trauma, domestic violence, and recovery from substance use. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Starting involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that works with the client’s needs.

Online approaches that focus on practical change

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most and take committed actions toward those values even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry, anger, and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to help reduce reactivity and strengthen emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sharon will discuss your goals and preferences and help determine which methods to try first. She often blends techniques so work in sessions feels relevant and doable for daily life.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Sessions can be scheduled as video calls or phone conversations, and shorter check-ins work via live chat or text-based messaging. This range of formats makes it easier to fit therapy into busy days, support ongoing practice between sessions, and maintain momentum while managing family and parenting responsibilities.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
