Sharon Macholan is a licensed mental health practitioner in Nebraska with 27 years of professional experience. Her background spans private practice and roles within larger organizations, and she also holds an advanced degree in school psychology which enables her to work in school settings.
She has provided services to teens, couples, and individuals across the lifespan. Sharon now offers therapy to people who prefer the convenience of speaking with a therapist from home and who want a process free from insurance company involvement. She is available to work with residents across outstate Nebraska who value that professional distance - you will not run into her on the street or in the store.
Her continuing professional education includes training in work with teens, suicide prevention, Divorce Busting, cognitive behavioral approaches, behavioral activation, and family therapy. Sharon has supported clients dealing with stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflicts, grief, parenting challenges, career transitions, and situations where women are seeking to emerge from smothering relationships. Her school psychology experience is helpful for parents and teens navigating special education or accommodation plans.
Sharon aims to create an open, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared. She recognizes that taking the first step toward a more satisfying and happier life takes courage, and she offers support through that process.
Many people ask whether connecting with a therapist online can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or adjusting to life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility - clients can choose the mode of communication that works best for them, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This variety makes it easier to schedule care around daily responsibilities and to maintain continuity when life is busy.
Therapy provided online is delivered by licensed professionals and therapists who are trained to work through these platforms. If the fit is not right, clients generally have the option to switch providers to find a better match.
