About Sharon
Sharon Holmberg is an MS LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Mississippi with 28 years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Sharon also focuses on issues such as caregiver stress, communication problems, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety and phobia.
Sharon uses straightforward conversation to identify what feels most difficult. She listens for immediate problems like panic attacks or overwhelming social situations and then helps set small, practical steps to manage them. Sessions focus on what the person wants to handle first, whether that is mood, worry, or rebuilding confidence.
Her approach centers on evidence-based therapeutic techniques applied in clear, actionable ways. That means using methods that target symptoms and build useful skills rather than vague plans. Sharon works with each person to shape the topics and pace of sessions so progress is measurable and understandable.
She pays attention to everyday pressures such as caregiving duties, relationship communication, and the strain of major life changes. Conversations may cover ways to reduce isolation, manage guilt or shame, and recover a sense of direction or life purpose. Practical coping strategies and communication skills are common parts of sessions.
People who come to Sharon can expect a steady, practical focus on problems they bring. She helps break larger issues into manageable steps and reviews progress along the way. To begin, clients are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting to outline goals.
How evidence-based methods work in online sessions
Sharon draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skill building and symptom reduction. One common approach teaches breathing, grounding, and exposure-style steps to reduce panic and phobic responses; these techniques break down feared situations into small, practiced tasks to lower intensity over time. Another approach emphasizes behavioral and cognitive strategies to address anxiety and mood concerns by identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing alternative ways of thinking and acting.Finding the right approach is part of the early work. Sharon will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. She explains the choices, tries methods in session, and adjusts plans based on what helps most in practice.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so appointments are easier to keep. Therapists and licensed professionals often use online work to make regular appointments more practical while focusing on the same evidence-based techniques used in person.
