About Sharon

Sharon Albert is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi with more than 30 years in mental health. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, self esteem struggles, parenting challenges, ADHD, and trauma. Sharon blends practical skills with direct conversation to help people move forward. She trained in counselor education and later earned a PhD in Educational Leadership. Her background also includes time as a school administrator and prior service in law enforcement, which shaped her practical approach to problem solving. Sharon draws on that experience when people need clear steps and realistic goals. Sessions focus on real-life changes. She uses client-centered listening to learn what matters most to each person. Cognitive-behavioral techniques are offered to challenge unhelpful thinking and build coping skills. Mindfulness practices are included to help with stress and emotional regulation. Sharon also incorporates psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas to look at patterns and set short-term objectives. Treatment plans are tailored to the individual rather than one-size-fits-all. She emphasizes personal responsibility alongside support, helping clients identify the next right step. People can expect a straightforward, respectful style and a focus on practical tools. Sharon aims to help clients clarify priorities, reduce overwhelm, and regain momentum in daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care options

Sharon uses client-centered work to focus on each person's priorities and strengths. This approach means sessions begin with listening to what matters most to the client, then shaping goals around those concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and practice concrete skills for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which ideas and exercises fit their goals and preferences. That plan can change over time as needs evolve and progress is made. Confirm current session options before booking so you know which online formats are offered. Online work can make scheduling easier and let sessions fit around work, school, or caregiving. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t practical and reduce travel time to appointments. Talk with the therapist during the matching process about how to structure sessions to match daily life and therapy goals.
