About Sharon

Sharon Salichs is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with eight years of clinical experience. She speaks Spanish and focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, and parenting concerns. Sharon also addresses trauma and abuse, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Her work draws on client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches. Sessions are conversational and practical. She helps people notice patterns, test short experiments, and try new ways of coping in everyday life.

Sharon trained at the Interamerican University of Puerto Rico, where she completed a master’s in Professional Counseling after earning a bachelor’s in Psychology. That education shaped her grasp of counseling methods and real-world skills used in sessions.

In practice she uses narrative and solution-focused methods alongside CBT and client-centered therapy. That means she pays attention to the stories people tell about themselves, looks for small changes that make a difference, and builds on strengths already present.

Clients can expect straightforward conversations about current problems and practical tools to manage symptoms. Sharon often works on communication issues, caregiver stress, and the emotional fallout of divorce or separation. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, impulsivity, isolation, and questions about life purpose.

Her Spanish language ability is offered to people who prefer to speak in Spanish. Before scheduling, readers should confirm current session options and formats directly through the site.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. Sessions using this approach aim to clarify feelings and priorities so people can decide their next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and uses small experiments to change them, which helps with anxiety, depression, and managing mood swings. Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Sharon will review goals and preferences with each person and suggest methods to try. She checks in as work progresses and adjusts the plan based on what helps most. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since current options are shown when you follow the online therapy flow. Online work can make it easier to fit short check-ins into a busy day, reduce travel time, and let someone continue care when schedules are tight. Some people prefer video to pick up visual cues, while others choose audio for a quicker, lower-bandwidth check-in. The focus remains on practical tools, communication skills, and small, manageable steps that transfer into everyday life.
