About Sharon
Sharon Albert is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with 30 years of experience. She holds an MS in Counselor Education and has worked in mental healthcare since 1999. Sharon helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting strain, and career or life changes.
Her background includes six years as a school administrator and ten years in law enforcement. That mix of roles shaped a practical, direct style. In sessions she balances clear feedback with steady listening. She asks concrete questions and focuses on what people can try between appointments.
Sharon usually draws on cognitive behavioral approaches to help change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses client-centered techniques to keep conversations grounded in the person's experience, and psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing patterns that repeat in relationships. Mindfulness and solution-focused tools appear when a short-term plan or moment-to-moment coping is needed.
People working on anger often start by mapping triggers, noticing early signs, and testing new responses in low-stakes settings. Sharon emphasizes personal responsibility alongside understanding where reactions come from. She also supports work on communication, boundaries, and dealing with guilt or shame as related issues.
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented while allowing space to process difficult emotions. Sharon practices in Mississippi and conducts therapy in English. For details about how to begin, clients follow the site's sign-up steps and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Sharon commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness in sessions. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and testing practical alternatives, which helps with anger, anxiety, and mood problems. Mindfulness therapy teaches noticing physical and mental cues in the moment and practicing brief grounding or breathing exercises to reduce escalation.She also uses client-centered techniques that keep the conversation focused on the person's experience, and psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns in relationships. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past to choose techniques that fit the situation.
If you plan to try online work, confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work, family, and travel. Other practical benefits include shorter check-ins by phone when a quick conversation is needed, reduced commuting time, or the option to use audio-only if bandwidth or comfort with video is a factor. Licensed professionals can adjust pacing and homework to suit remote sessions, helping clients practice new responses to anger between meetings.
