Online sessions that combine practical skills and reflective work
Sharon McKay offers remote appointments using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. She brings together skill-based and emotionally attuned methods so that people can address immediate concerns while also exploring deeper patterns that influence thoughts, feelings, and relationships.
Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, McKay helps identify unhelpful thinking and develop concrete strategies to manage symptoms and daily stressors. Mindfulness Therapy is used alongside CBT to increase present-moment awareness and support regulation of emotion. Motivational Interviewing is applied when ambivalence about change arises, helping clarify values and build motivation for steps the client chooses.
Clients who prefer a collaborative, flexible process may find these approaches a good fit. Sessions can blend reflective conversation with practical homework or in-the-moment skills practice, and communication options include video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different needs.
