About Sharon
Sharon Albert is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with 30 years of experience in mental health care. She has a Master of Science in Counselor Education and a PhD in Educational Leadership. Her work includes helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, and career-related issues.
Sharon draws on a mix of clinical approaches to match what a person needs. She uses client-centered methods to listen and focus on what matters to the individual. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and mindfulness strategies to build present-moment awareness.
Her background includes time as a school administrator and a decade in law enforcement, experiences that shaped how she thinks about structure, communication, and resilience. That practical perspective shows up in brief problem-solving work and in longer conversations about life patterns and meaning.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented. People can expect focused discussion, specific coping ideas, and attention to how daily routines and relationships affect mood and behavior. Sharon also addresses issues such as blended family dynamics, codependency, communication problems, guilt, impulsivity, and multicultural concerns.
She works with mood disorders including bipolar and panic disorder, and with people managing ADHD or compassion fatigue. For those starting out, she asks for a short matching questionnaire and a first appointment to agree on goals and a plan.
How sessions work
How Sharon uses therapy approaches online
Sharon commonly combines client-centered ways of working with cognitive behavioral methods. Client-centered work means the conversation starts with the person’s concerns and goals, and sessions are shaped around what they say matters most. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and relationship stress.She also uses mindfulness strategies to help people notice habits of thinking and reduce reactivity in tense moments. Mindfulness skills can be useful for managing panic, anger, and stress related to parenting or caregiving. These approaches aim to be practical and can be used in short check-ins or in longer discussions about life patterns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Sharon works with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress or setbacks occur. That decision is collaborative and revisited over time.
The therapist’s biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If you need help fitting therapy around parenting, work, or caregiving, mention that during the matching questionnaire so scheduling can be discussed.
