About Sharon
Sharon Woodard is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC and LCMHC, with 15 years of experience working in North Carolina. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and anger. Sharon also supports clients facing relationship and intimacy-related concerns, workplace issues, and difficulties with self-esteem.
Her approach centers on client-centered work and practical skills. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and build clearer coping strategies. Mindfulness and trauma-focused methods are woven into sessions when relevant, with a focus on real steps people can use between meetings.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Sharon listens for patterns that feed anger and frustration, then helps people try new responses. She also addresses related issues such as shame, abandonment, isolation, and guilt to reduce triggers that keep anger cycling.
Sharon has substantial experience with mood disorders, panic, post-traumatic stress, and survivors of sexual assault. She brings this background to work with clients managing complex or layered difficulties, including compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges.
People can expect clear, practical strategies for everyday life. Sharon aims to help people lower reactivity, improve communication, and make steady changes that fit their routines. She focuses on usable tools rather than labels, and on small, sustainable shifts in how someone copes with anger and related stressors.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. In an online setting that looks like regular check-ins, reflective conversation, and shared goal-setting to address anger, stress, or relationship strain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches straightforward skills to notice thoughts and change behaviors. Online sessions can include reviewing patterns, setting experiments to try between meetings, and tracking outcomes over time to reduce reactivity. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings practical skills for managing strong emotions. That can mean learning distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness tools you practice in daily life. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts pace and focus as needs and priorities become clearer. Confirm session formats before booking to know what is offered. Many people value online sessions because they fit into work breaks, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a quick update is needed. Discuss format and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions can be arranged to suit your routine.Areas of focus
