About Sharon
Sharon Esters is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, parenting concerns, relationship issues, and addiction-related struggles. Sharon also lists support for LGBT concerns and a range of life changes and behavioral challenges.
Sharon uses straightforward, talk-and-skill based work. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered methods to help people notice thinking patterns and try different responses. Mindfulness and Solution-Focused tools are used to build short-term strategies and moment-to-moment awareness.
In sessions she tends to map out specific problems and practical steps. That can include identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing new behaviors, and practicing skills between meetings. She often focuses on communication, impulse control, and coping with transitions.
Sharon notes experience with areas such as abandonment, body image, codependency, commitment and communication problems, and sexual subcultures including BDSM and kink. She also lists caregiver stress, fatherhood issues, family problems, and challenges around forgiveness, guilt, and shame.
Her approach is goal-oriented and direct. People who want concrete tools for daily life, clearer communication, and ways to manage mood or impulse problems will find this style relevant. She works in English and practices in Texas.
How her approaches translate to online work
Sharon uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and to test small behavior changes; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and impulse control. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting so people can clarify their own goals and priorities.Choosing the right combination of methods is part of the work together. Sharon will review a person’s concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest which approaches to emphasize. That decision is collaborative and may change as sessions progress.
Confirm the specific session options before booking since formats were not specified in the profile. In practical terms, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work or family schedules. They also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited and for using written or audio exercises between sessions. The aim is to make therapy usable in everyday life while focusing on concrete skills and steps people can try between meetings.
