Sharonda Patrick, LCMHC - Therapist in North Carolina

About Sharonda

Sharonda Patrick is a licensed clinical mental health counselor in North Carolina with 17 years of experience. She focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. She speaks English and uses clear, practical approaches to help people make changes that matter.

Taking the first step can feel hard, and she acknowledges that courage is part of beginning therapy. In sessions she treats each person as the expert on their own life.

Background and approach

She helps clients identify strengths and practical steps they can try between meetings. Her style favors straightforward tools that can reduce worry and improve daily functioning. She listens for what is working already and builds from there.

Sharonda draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which connects thoughts, feelings, and actions to create change. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term, achievable goals and track progress. These methods are used to address issues like parenting struggles, grief, intimacy concerns, and coping with major life changes.

Her background includes nearly two decades of clinical work with a wide range of concerns, from mood disorders and addiction to trauma and postpartum depression. She aims to make therapy practical and relevant to everyday life. Parents and families coming for help can expect clear suggestions, goal-setting, and steady support to try new ways of relating.

To begin, she asks people to share their priorities and small goals. From there she and the client shape a plan that fits home life and schedules. The emphasis stays on doable steps and building confidence as progress unfolds.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Family Support

Sharonda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and shift day-to-day reactions. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so clients can try new responses and see different results. Solution-Focused Therapy is also part of her work and emphasizes small, practical goals. It helps people identify what changes will make a difference now and work toward those steps.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sharonda listens to each person or family to understand priorities, goals, and preferences. Together they try methods that fit the situation and adjust the plan if something does not feel right. The aim is to find tools that feel useful in real life, not just in sessions.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy households. Video calls let families meet face-to-face from home, phone sessions fit tight schedules, and live chat or text-based messaging work for quick check-ins and ongoing support. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling parenting, work, and daily routines.

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.

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.
