Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care Options

Shari uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional healing. One common approach she employs is trauma-focused work, which helps people process painful experiences, reduce distressing symptoms, and rebuild a sense of safety and control. This type of work can be helpful for those coping with past abuse, post-traumatic stress, or ongoing trauma-related reactions.

She also uses skills-based, problem-solving methods that teach coping strategies for depression, anxiety, addiction, and everyday stress. These techniques emphasize building measurable skills - such as stress management, emotion regulation, and relapse prevention - so clients can manage symptoms and pursue personal goals more effectively. In family and couples work, she helps identify patterns, improve communication, and develop shared strategies for resolving conflict and strengthening relationships.

Finding the right approach is collaborative - Shari partners with each person to determine which techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, provide flexible ways to connect, and increase access to ongoing support from licensed professionals and therapists.
