About Sharta

Sharta Willis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, self-esteem concerns, family issues, and parenting challenges. She offers straightforward support and practical tools aimed at easing daily pressure and improving how people relate to themselves and others.

Her approach is friendly and down-to-earth, which many find easier to use when life feels overwhelming. Sharta uses techniques from Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and build trust.

Background and approach

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people try small changes that add up. Sessions focus on clear steps and useful strategies rather than long explanations. In session she prioritizes adapting her style to each person’s pace and needs.

That can mean focusing on immediate coping skills one week and problem-solving patterns the next. She offers resources and simple exercises people can practice between meetings. Sharta’s background includes six years of practice as an LCSW.

She has experience addressing family problems and issues affecting veterans and armed forces members, along with supporting people who want to build self-love. Those topics inform how she shapes each session. People meet with her for practical guidance, honest conversation, and help making real-life changes.

Sessions are available through several online formats to fit different schedules and preferences.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on being listened to and understood. In this approach the therapist reflects back what someone says and helps them name their priorities, which can reduce shame and make decision making easier. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches simple techniques to change them, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. From there she blends approaches and adjusts methods so sessions stay practical and relevant to the person’s life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, try short check-ins between meetings, or use written tools when that helps. Many people find the range of formats lets them stay consistent with therapy while managing family and work demands.

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.

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.
