Evidence-Informed Approaches, Made Accessible Online
Sharon Link, LCSW, draws from several established therapy models to help clients build insight and practical coping tools. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on recognizing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, then practicing more workable alternatives - an approach often used for concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and healthier relationship patterns. It can be especially helpful when emotions feel intense or hard to manage and when day-to-day coping needs a stronger structure.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured method that helps clients process distressing memories and reduce the emotional charge they carry, which may be relevant for experiences of trauma or abuse.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon collaborates with clients to understand what they want from therapy and then tailors sessions to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting along the way as new insights emerge.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This variety can make it easier to stay consistent, fit therapy into a busy schedule, and access support from the setting that feels most comfortable.
