About Sharon
Sharon Albert is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with 30 years of experience. She holds a Master of Science in Counselor Education and a PhD in Educational Leadership. Sharon works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, and related challenges.
She uses practical methods to help people notice patterns that keep problems going. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and trying small changes to test what helps. Sharon combines approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness tools, psychodynamic thinking, and solution-focused steps to create straightforward plans.
Before counseling full time she spent six years as a school administrator and ten years in law enforcement. That background shaped a direct, results-oriented style that still respects each person’s situation. Sharon often draws on real-life examples from work, family, and careers when talking through responses and choices.
Typical sessions look at current concerns like panic attacks, mood shifts, anger, codependency, or difficulties with communication and commitment. She also addresses broader topics such as life purpose, financial stress, multicultural concerns, and compassion fatigue. For people with ADHD or bipolar-related issues, she works on practical coping strategies rather than diagnostic services.
Sharon asks people to set clear goals and to track small changes between sessions. She emphasizes skills people can use right away - thought records, mindful checking-in, short behavioral experiments, and focused problem-solving. Those tools are mixed depending on what a person needs and what they want to work on next.
How her approaches translate to online work
Sharon often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT involves short experiments and homework tasks that make progress visible and actionable for issues like anxiety, panic, mood problems, and stress.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on listening and reflecting so clients can organize their own thoughts and goals. Mindfulness Therapy is used alongside these approaches to teach noticing current experience, regulating strong emotions, and reducing reactivity.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sharon works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts the mix of CBT, mindfulness, or other methods as the work progresses and as clients report what helps.
