About Sharon

Sharon Blanchard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 30 years of experience. She has worked in K-12 school settings, taught graduate counseling courses, and provided individual counseling across a range of life stages. Sharon focuses on concerns such as anger, stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, relationships, and self-esteem.

Her background includes long-term work with parents and young people who face behavior and identity questions. She has supported young adults navigating early career and relationship choices, and middle-age adults facing major life decisions. Sharon draws on decades of in-school counseling and classroom teaching to bring a practical perspective to sessions.

In practice she emphasizes listening closely and helping people sort through what’s driving their reactions. She uses clear conversation to identify patterns, such as impulsivity, control issues, or communication breakdowns. That process helps people notice where anger and frustration come from and what small changes might reduce flare-ups.

Her clinical approaches include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative methods. Those tools are used to address issues like panic, postpartum depression, grief, and life transitions as well as ongoing anger and relationship stress.

Sharon is open to exploring faith as part of counseling when clients want that included. She aims to help people develop clearer self-understanding, practical coping skills, and better ways to handle conflict and intense feelings. To start, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How sessions work

How Sharon uses common approaches in online sessions

Client-centered therapy puts the person's experience first. In practice this means the therapist listens, reflects back what she hears, and follows the client's lead to uncover what matters most. It helps when someone wants to understand their feelings and be heard.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sharon uses CBT techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavior experiments that reduce repeated angry reactions or anxiety. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices so a person can notice rising tension earlier and choose a different response.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sharon will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before to decide which methods to try. She adapts the mix of conversation, skills practice, and short experiments based on each person’s needs.

Session formats are not detailed here, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals often find these arrangements help maintain momentum between life events without promising a specific outcome.
