Remote care with evidence-informed skills
Sharon offers online sessions that draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports learning to notice internal experiences while clarifying values and taking meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical behavioral experiments. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These approaches are presented in a collaborative way, with Sharon and the person in care setting goals and choosing which skills and exercises fit a given situation. Sessions can be used to learn strategies for stress, panic, communication problems, caregiver strain, and mood management while also exploring larger questions such as life purpose and self-love.
