About Sharon
Dr. Sharon Hansen is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Wisconsin with six years of professional mental health practice and nearly 30 years as a school counselor. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and major life changes.
She uses practical, talk-based work to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions focus on clear steps clients can try between meetings. Sharon draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered work, and trauma-focused methods to guide those steps.
Her background in schools shaped a direct approach to problem solving and goal-setting. That experience also informs how she supports people through relationship stresses and family of origin issues. She also works with panic disorder, post-traumatic stress, and seasonal affective disorder concerns.
Sharon aims to make sessions straightforward and focused. Expect conversations about current problems, short experiments to change patterns, and review of what worked. She uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas when clients want to clarify goals and stay on track.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow Wisconsin practice rules. Dr. Hansen asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire before the first meeting. Therapy fees vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Hansen commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in practical, online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioral experiments to shift reactions. That approach helps with anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and seasonal mood shifts. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on stabilizing reactions and developing coping strategies for past hurts and ongoing trauma symptoms.She also draws on client-centered techniques to keep conversations focused on what matters to the client. Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative - the therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then agree on steps to try together. Adjustments are made based on what works in practice rather than on a fixed plan.
This listing does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins during a break, and reduce travel time. When deciding on formats, consider factors like needing to be on camera, internet bandwidth, or preferring a shorter phone check-in. Licensed professionals can offer these choices to make regular work on goals more manageable.
