About Sharie
Sharie Gilner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with six years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and challenges coping with life changes. She also focuses on concerns like body image, communication problems, postpartum depression, and social anxiety and phobia.
Sharie begins by listening to each person's story and recognizing their strengths. She respects that clients know their own lives and helps them use existing resources to make changes. Sessions move at a practical pace and focus on what someone wants to change now.
Her approach draws from Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), along with Motivational Interviewing and Trauma-Focused Therapy. That mix lets her combine careful listening with concrete strategies for thoughts, behaviors, and motivation. She uses these methods to address symptoms and to build everyday coping skills.
In sessions she helps people notice patterns that keep problems going and practices new responses together. That can include short behavioral experiments, thought review, and steps to increase motivation. Progress is tracked in small, manageable steps so changes are clearer and easier to repeat.
Sharie offers care in English and works with adults in Mississippi. She asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire before the first appointment so she can match goals to treatment planning. The process is meant to be straightforward and focused on real-life problems.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Sharie uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as key parts of her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on careful listening and reflecting what a person says so goals become clearer. CBT looks at unhelpful thought patterns and tests new behaviors with small practical experiments to reduce symptoms and build coping skills.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress and needs change.
