About Sharon

Dr. Sharon Belhamel is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Georgia with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, career questions, and other life changes. She also supports those dealing with grief, addiction, ADHD, and intimacy-related concerns.

Sharon prefers straightforward sessions that focus on practical tools and clearer next steps. She uses a mix of evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based work to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Sessions often include talking through specific situations, practicing skills, and setting small goals to test out between meetings.

Clients can expect a therapist who draws from several approaches rather than a single method. That means sessions might shift between learning coping skills, exploring relationship dynamics, and practicing new ways of handling strong emotions. Sharon also addresses issues like body image, codependency, chronic illness stress, and caregiver strain when those come up.

Her background spans family systems concerns as well as individual stress and mood problems. With two decades of practice in Georgia, she combines theory with hands-on strategies that people can use in day-to-day life. For international clients and English speakers, sessions are offered in English.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking small committed steps toward what matters. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks situations into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current ways of relating and can be useful for intimacy and relationship difficulties.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try an approach, and adjust as needed. Sessions can mix ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused conversations so the plan fits what the client wants to do and practice between sessions.

The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and avoid travel time. Therapists often adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so people can practice skills in everyday situations.
