About Shara
Shara Biggs is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues such as addiction, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, anger, and relationship concerns. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.
Shara uses a blend of evidence-based methods. She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change thinking patterns that increase distress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify values and build committed action even when emotions are strong. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are offered for managing intense feelings and improving emotional regulation.
Her approach centers on straightforward conversation and measurable steps. People can expect goal-setting, skill practice, and regular review of progress. Shara prioritizes clear feedback and collaborative planning rather than vague promises about outcomes.
She also pays attention to attachment patterns and how early relationships shape current responses. That perspective can help when struggles show up as distrust, fear of abandonment, or trouble connecting with others. Therapy may include exploring those relationship patterns alongside practical coping skills.
Shara notes that taking the first step takes courage. She invites people to bring real, everyday problems - snapped conversations with partners, work frustration, simmering resentment - and to work on concrete changes. To start, follow the site process to complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters most to them and take steady action even with difficult feelings. Online sessions can teach practical exercises to clarify values and convert them into small, doable steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing thoughts and testing them against reality. Through video or messaging, clients practice exercises that change unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills can be taught in short, focused lessons and practiced between sessions to manage anger and intense reactions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals and preferences with the client and recommend which methods to try first. Decisions are made together and can shift as needs change.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, not needing to travel, or using audio-only when bandwidth is limited. Those practical benefits often help people keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other obligations.
