Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Sharon Jenkins integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and develop psychological flexibility - it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration, creating a supportive space where a person can explore feelings and make choices that align with their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be effective for depression, anxiety, and managing everyday challenges.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sharon will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy remains relevant and practical.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during life changes, and receive support from licensed professionals and therapists without needing to travel to an office.
