About Sharon
Sharon Garland is a licensed clinical social worker in Georgia with 16 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, mood challenges, and life transitions. Sharon aims to make beginning therapy feel straightforward and doable for worried parents and busy people.
She focuses on practical, everyday strategies that fit a client's life. Sessions often look at patterns in relationships, coping skills for anxiety, and steps to improve sleep and daily routine.
Background and approach
Sharon uses approaches like Systemic therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and client-centered techniques to guide conversations rather than lecture clients. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. She encourages honest talk about what’s hard and what’s working.
Sharon supports people who want coaching for career decisions, help with parenting strain, or relief from grief and trauma reactions. Sharon also addresses problems like anger, compassion fatigue, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, and post-traumatic stress. She helps people untangle control issues, dissociation, or feelings of isolation and shame.
Practical tools and small, achievable goals are part of her typical sessions. For someone unsure how to begin, Sharon keeps the first steps simple: a short intake, a clear plan, and check-ins on progress. Her aim is to help clients build skills they can use between sessions and to adjust the plan as life changes.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Sharon commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to guide online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values-driven action; it helps people move toward what matters even when feelings are difficult. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the client's experience, offering empathy and reflective listening so goals emerge from the person's own priorities. She also brings elements of Systemic therapy into conversations by looking at how relationships and patterns influence current problems. That perspective helps identify small changes in communication or routines that can reduce stress and improve connection. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sharon works with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and life demands. She checks in and adjusts strategies over time so sessions stay relevant and practical. Online formats offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared worksheets, phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or lower bandwidth needs, and live chat or text messaging can support brief coaching, check-ins, or simple skill practice between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent even when schedules change.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
