About Sharon
Sharon Franklin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 10 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Sharon lists guilt and shame among her additional focus areas and often addresses those feelings alongside other concerns.
Sharon draws on practical, evidence-based techniques rather than labels. She favors clear, direct conversation and listens for the real problems behind the distress. Sessions tend to focus on what a person is experiencing now and on concrete ways to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.
Her background includes time as a school counselor and a decade in clinical practice. That mix shapes a style that pays attention to how relationships, family history, and life transitions affect mood and behavior. She commonly helps people work through attachment questions, abandonment issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and family of origin problems.
Sharon uses a mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered ideas, and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, combined with solution-focused strategies. Expect practical tools you can try between sessions, along with conversational reflection about patterns and beliefs that fuel shame or guilt.
Her work also touches on body image, codependency, divorce and separation, domestic violence, fatherhood issues, forgiveness, and immigration stressors. People who want straightforward guidance and skills to handle everyday struggles often find this approach useful.
How therapeutic approaches are used online
Sharon commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Person-Centered ideas in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and provides practical exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking. Person-Centered ideas emphasize listening and responding to what a person says, helping them clarify their own goals and values.She also uses Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused techniques to target present problems and teach coping skills. These methods focus on specific thoughts and actions you can try between sessions, and they are often used together rather than alone. Deciding which approach to emphasize is a collaborative process based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences.
