About Sharie
Sharie Gilner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with six years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She also addresses body image, communication problems, domestic violence, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and related concerns.
Sharie frames clients as the experts on their own stories. She uses that perspective to build practical steps forward. Sessions focus on identifying strengths, naming painful thoughts, and trying small changes that can reduce daily struggle.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people test unhelpful thinking and practice different behaviors. Motivational Interviewing is used to clarify what someone wants and to support steps toward that goal. Trauma-Focused Therapy is included when past harm continues to affect current life.
In sessions she listens for patterns that keep someone stuck and then works with them to pick doable strategies. Conversations often include skill practice, behavior changes, and revisiting difficult memories at a pace the person can manage. The therapist encourages honest, direct talk about guilt and shame and how those feelings shape decisions.
People can expect straightforward language and a focus on actions that fit daily life. Sharie helps people break down big problems into small, practical steps to try between sessions.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's concerns. The therapist reflects what the client says and helps them notice their own goals and strengths. This approach is useful when someone needs a respectful place to sort through guilt or painful memories.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them against reality, and practicing different behaviors. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, and patterns that keep guilt or shame active.
Finding the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust those methods over time based on what helps.
