Sharon Bryant, LPC

Sharon Bryant is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with three decades of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and related concerns. She uses a practical, skills-focused style that aims to build on each person’s strengths. Sharon believes taking the first step toward therapy is an act of courage and meets people with steady, respectful support.

Her approach centers on cognitive behavioral ideas that help people notice thoughts and try different responses. She also draws on motivational interviewing to support change and solution-focused methods to set clear, achievable goals. Sessions are conversational and goal oriented, with tools you can use between meetings.

Sharon has worked for 30 years with people facing substance use concerns, grief and loss, low self-esteem, sleeping problems, and intimacy-related issues. She also addresses parenting stress, workplace strain, and life transitions such as divorce or midlife shifts. Aging and geriatric matters, intellectual disability, and disaster-related coping are additional areas she understands.

In practical terms Sharon helps clients break problems into manageable steps. She uses short-term strategies alongside longer-term planning, depending on what a person needs. Expect clear suggestions, homework you can try, and regular check-ins on progress.

Sessions are available in English and are offered through remote formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Sharon works collaboratively to tailor methods to each person’s goals and pace.

How Sharon Uses Practical Approaches in Online Therapy

Sharon often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a method that helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety or low mood. It focuses on simple, repeatable skills that can change how someone feels over time.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people who are ambivalent about change. That approach emphasizes listening, building motivation, and setting small steps toward goals. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to identify clear, short-term goals and to track progress with concrete actions that produce visible results.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Sharon works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, comfort level, and daily life. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what is working and what isn't.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for this style of work. Video calls let Sharon demonstrate techniques and watch how a person practices them. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a quicker check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow for brief updates, reminders, or worksheets between meetings. These options help make therapy easier to fit into busy days and different routines.
