About Sharonda
Sharonda Patrick is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 17 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and motivation struggles.
She focuses on practical conversation and short-term problem solving. Sessions tend to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and then test small changes. The work is direct and task-oriented so people can try different ways of responding between meetings.
Sharonda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy as part of her approach. That means she often teaches concrete skills to shift thinking patterns and helps clients set small, measurable goals. These methods are commonly used for mood, anxiety, and coping with life changes.
She also supports people facing grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy or sexual concerns, addiction issues, postpartum mood concerns, and career or purpose questions. Additional focuses include communication problems, commitment issues, infidelity, and parenting strain.
In sessions she works from the view that the client is the expert on their life. She helps people notice strengths, pick practical steps, and track what works. People who prefer clear structure and actionable tasks will find this style fits well.
How her approaches adapt to online therapy
Sharonda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify patterns in thinking and behavior and then practice specific skills to reduce anxiety or low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy is goal-oriented and concentrates on small, achievable steps to move toward a preferred outcome. These two approaches together emphasize short-term strategies and measurable progress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which method or combination fits best based on goals, symptoms, and daily demands. This means goals and techniques can be adjusted as work progresses rather than fixed from the start.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or remove the need to be on camera for every meeting. Talk with her during the first scheduled session about pacing, homework, and how sessions will fit into your week.
