About Shara
Shara Trumbull is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in Tennessee with 25 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, parenting stress, relationship strain, trauma, and difficult life changes. Shara also works with concerns such as addiction, grief, self-esteem, and career-related stress.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centered methods. She listens for how past relationships affect current patterns and helps individuals notice those connections. Sessions focus on clearer communication, setting boundaries, and understanding emotional reactions rather than on labels or diagnoses.
Shara offers a faith-aware perspective when that matters to the person in therapy. That means she can incorporate a person’s spiritual values into conversations about coping, forgiveness, and meaning if the client wishes. She does not require clients to share the same beliefs.
People describe practical steps they try between sessions, like changing small routines, practicing specific communication moves, or trying brief grounding techniques to manage stress. Shara guides those experiments and reviews what helps and what does not.
Over a long career she has supported adults through parenting stresses, family-of-origin issues, divorce and separation concerns, and caregiving burden. The work is often about making day-to-day life more manageable, improving how people relate to others, and reducing the constant drain of worry and shame.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and close relationships shape how a person connects now. Online sessions using this approach help people notice patterns in their relationships and practice new ways of relating when stress or parenting strain comes up.Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person’s own experience. In sessions the therapist listens without directing and helps the person name feelings, values, and goals. This can be useful for navigating grief, low self-esteem, or decisions about family roles.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shara will collaborate with each person to choose which methods make sense based on their goals, history, and what feels useful in day-to-day life. The first few sessions often focus on clarifying priorities and trying different ways to respond to family and parenting challenges.
Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since the profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, or allow meetings without travel time. Those practical benefits help people sustain regular work on communication, coping, and managing caregiving demands.
