About Sharon
Sharon Blanchard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 30 years of experience. She focuses on common life stresses like anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and relationship struggles. Sharon aims to listen closely and help people sort through what feels overwhelming so they can make clearer choices.
Sharon has worked in K-12 school settings and taught graduate counseling courses. That background shaped her skill in talking with parents and young adults facing identity, career, and relationship questions.
Background and approach
She has also supported middle-age adults as they navigate big life decisions. Her approach centers on hearing each person’s story and noticing the patterns that shape daily life. She uses Narrative Therapy alongside client-centered conversations to help people reframe problems and see new possibilities.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices are used when helpful to change thoughts and habits that keep stress or anger active. Sharon can talk with parents about blended family issues, communication problems, and parenting strong-willed children. She also helps people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, postpartum depression, panic, and feelings of isolation or low self-esteem.
Practical skills and small experiments are common parts of her work. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text. Sharon takes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance and will explore faith or spiritual concerns if the client wants.
The goal is steady, manageable steps toward a clearer sense of self and daily functioning.

Online session options
How narrative work and practical therapy fit online
Sharon uses Narrative Therapy to help people tell their life stories in new ways and notice how those stories shape feelings and choices. This approach can help with identity questions, family roles, and patterns that repeat over time.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions focus on the person’s needs and pace rather than a fixed agenda. That makes room to explore values, spirituality, and personal goals in a way that feels respectful and client-driven.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is available when practical skill-building is helpful. CBT-style tools can address anxiety, panic, negative thinking, and habits that increase depression or anger by encouraging short experiments and new routines.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. Sharon aims to match techniques to each person’s situation rather than impose a single method.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different needs. Video calls let people have a more personal conversation and read facial cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter, simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow faster check-ins, brief reflections, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, and busy days while keeping the focus on steady progress.
