About Shara

Shara Biggs is an LPC practicing in Tennessee who focuses on helping people make practical changes in their lives. She uses clear, respectful conversation to help with issues like depression, anxiety, addictions, and problems with sleep and rest. She aims to meet clients where they are and tailor support to their needs.

Shara draws on several evidence-informed approaches to guide sessions. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new responses. Attachment-based work and client-centered methods help people feel heard and build stronger ways of relating to themselves and others.

Her background includes four years in clinical practice working with concerns such as trauma, grief, compassion fatigue, relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating and body-image concerns, ADHD, and coping with life changes. She also helps people navigating career stress, parenting strain, and chronic health challenges.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Shara says she will tailor both dialogue and any plan to the unique situation of each person. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in sessions and supports people taking early steps toward change.

People who choose her often want practical tools for sleep, stress, or mood, and someone who listens while offering clear options. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before scheduling.

Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and commit to actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and getting better sleep by changing how you respond to difficult feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. For sleep and rest concerns CBT can include routines, thought work around sleep, and skills to reduce nighttime worry.

Attachment-Based Therapy and client-centered methods focus on creating a respectful, listening space. This work helps people understand relationship patterns and feel more grounded when facing loss, intimacy issues, or stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods match their needs and goals, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.

Please confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. If camera or bandwidth needs vary, there are often flexible ways to connect that accommodate quieter surroundings or limited tech, but verify which formats are offered when you schedule.
