Sharmian McCoy

Sharmian McCoy, LPC, brings 25 years of professional experience to her practice in Tennessee, focusing on areas such as stress and anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and self-esteem. She works with people facing grief, parenting and blended family challenges, career transitions, and mood concerns including depression and bipolar. Her approach reflects a range of clinical interests, including compassion fatigue, caregiving stress, and issues common to young adults and women.

She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems as frameworks to guide sessions. Those methods are used to explore patterns, reframe personal narratives, and work with parts of the self that influence feelings and behavior. Sharmian emphasizes collaboration and clear goals, inviting clients to shape the pace and focus of the work.

Sharmian aims to create an open, nonjudgmental setting where thoughts and feelings can be expressed and explored. She frames the first step toward change as a courageous decision and positions herself as a professional resource for clients seeking support through life transitions, relationship shifts, and recovery from difficult experiences.
