About Sharon
Dr. Sharon Anderson is a Colorado Psychologist (CO Psychologist PSY.0001971) with 19 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem, coping with life changes, anger, career issues, and depression. She works with a broad range of mood and adjustment concerns and addresses related topics like codependency, communication problems, and multicultural issues.
She uses clear, practical methods in sessions. She listens to what is most pressing and helps people notice thought patterns and behavior habits that get in the way. Sessions often include short exercises and small experiments to try between meetings.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. That means she blends attention to thoughts and behaviors with direct goal-setting and checking in on motivation. Conversations aim to identify one or two manageable changes rather than large lists of tasks.
Sharon helps people work through feelings of guilt, shame, emptiness, or isolation and addresses life-stage questions like midlife crisis and finding life purpose. She also works with mood disorders and seasonal affective disorder as part of her broader practice focus. International clients may be accepted; sessions are conducted in English.
Practical steps are emphasized over lengthy theory. She asks about immediate problems, clarifies goals, and suggests straightforward strategies to test. People who prefer a focused, structured process for changing thoughts, habits, and daily routines may find this approach useful.
How her approaches translate to online work
She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered methods into online sessions. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which can be done with short in-session activities and homework tasks. Client-Centered methods place attention on the client's perspective and use reflective listening to clarify goals and concerns.She also uses Motivational Interviewing when people need help finding motivation for change. That approach focuses on exploring ambivalence and strengthening a person's own reasons for acting. Together these methods support a collaborative process where therapist and client pick strategies that match goals and capacity.

Many people find online sessions help fit meetings around work, family, or travel because they remove commute time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Others like the ability to share worksheets and practice exercises digitally between sessions. The therapist will discuss which practical session arrangements best support the client's goals.
