About Sharon
Sharon Link is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience who helps people manage stress, sleep problems, mood concerns, addiction, and relationship struggles. She meets individuals where they are and focuses on practical steps they can use day to day. Her tone is warm and direct, and she centers each person's goals in planning treatment.
Sharon blends several approaches into a clear, usable plan rather than relying on a single method. She uses client-centered ideas to shape sessions around the person's priorities. She incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Sharon also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and EMDR where those tools fit a person's history and goals.
Sharon has worked with adults and young people across a broad range of concerns, including depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, trauma and abuse, addictions such as gambling, ADHD, and parenting challenges. She also supports people facing grief, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and issues around attachment and abandonment. Her experience includes helping those coping with changes in life circumstances and compassion fatigue.
Her style is interactive and respectful. She offers tools and teaches how to use them, while leaving the person in charge of their treatment. Sessions emphasize skills you can practice between meetings and steps you can take immediately to improve sleep, manage mood, or reduce anxious thinking.
People who choose Sharon can expect straightforward guidance, a focus on practical techniques, and a collaborative plan that targets the issues they name as most important.
How Sharon Uses Different Approaches Online
Sharon integrates client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in a way that focuses on daily life. Client-centered therapy means sessions are built around what matters most to the person and their goals. It helps people feel heard and guides what to work on next.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Sharon uses CBT to help people change patterns that worsen mood, anxiety, or sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches specific skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and reducing self-destructive behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sharon will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best for their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying a skills-based focus first or bringing in EMDR later if trauma processing becomes a priority.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and offer shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats also work better when someone prefers not to be on camera or needs lower bandwidth, so clarifying options helps tailor sessions to everyday life.
