About Shara

Shara Biggs is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with four years of clinical experience. She works with people who are facing anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, and concerns about self-esteem and relationships. Shara focuses on practical steps clients can use to manage stress and feel more able to handle difficult moments.

Shara uses conversations and structured techniques to help people clarify what matters to them and then take manageable actions toward those goals. She draws on cognitive behavioral methods to spot unhelpful thinking patterns, and on acceptance and commitment approaches to increase willingness to face uncomfortable feelings while moving toward valued life directions. Attachment-based ideas inform how she talks about relationship patterns and closeness.

Sessions are generally straightforward and goal-oriented. Shara listens for patterns that keep someone stuck and offers specific skills to try between meetings. She also helps people recovering from trauma to pace themselves and build coping skills they can use day to day.

For people dealing with addictions, grief, career stress, parenting strain, or overlapping challenges like ADHD and mood concerns, Shara blends problem-focused work with attention to relationship and life context. She invites clients to set small, realistic steps and tracks progress together.

Shara works in English and practices in Tennessee as an LPC. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to discuss goals and next steps.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Shara uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and develop concrete tools for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress. CBT often focuses on specific skills and short experiments to change thinking and behavior patterns.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters most to them and practice small, value-driven steps even when difficult feelings are present. ACT emphasizes willingness to feel while behaving in ways that matter to the individual.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shara will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed, so the work fits the client's needs.

Confirm the available online session formats before booking, since the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people try approaches like skill practice and behavioral experiments in their everyday settings without committing to long travel.
