About Sharon
Sharon Nielsen is an Ohio LPCC with 10 years of clinical experience working with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, and depression. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by strong emotions, relationship conflict, or difficult life changes.
Sharon offers straightforward, practical work in sessions. She talks through what's happening now, notices patterns that keep problems going, and supports steps to try different choices. Conversations focus on managing intense feelings, improving communication, and reducing avoidance that makes social situations and everyday tasks harder.
Her background includes a decade of seeing adults with trauma histories, relationship problems, and mood concerns. She has particular experience with attachment issues, abandonment feelings, codependency, and the aftermath of domestic violence or separation. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, emptiness, and problems with impulse control.
Sharon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide changes in thinking and behavior. In sessions she helps people practice new ways of responding, test small changes between meetings, and track what does and does not help. This makes progress easier to recognize in day-to-day life.
Sessions are conducted in English and are based in Ohio. Sharon notes that cost varies with location and that sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Sharon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Cognitive approaches help identify patterns of thinking that increase anxiety and teach practical ways to test and shift those thoughts. Behavioral techniques focus on small, graded steps to face feared situations and build confidence over time.She also draws on trauma-informed strategies to address the effects of past harm. This involves pacing work so it feels manageable, teaching grounding and emotion regulation skills, and helping people make sense of how past events affect current relationships and mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, and then recommend methods to try. The plan is collaborative and may change as progress is tracked.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Talk with Sharon about practical needs and scheduling to see how remote sessions might fit into everyday life.
