About Sharhonda
Sharhonda Givens, LPC, is a licensed professional counselor in Oklahoma with three years of experience. She works with people carrying stress, anxiety, relationship strains, family concerns, trauma and abuse, and major life changes. She also addresses feelings tied to abandonment, attachment difficulties, caregiver stress, and guilt and shame.
She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person's experience and to listen for what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps her and the client notice unhelpful thoughts and try small, practical changes. Mindfulness practices are offered to build present-moment awareness and steady attention during distressing moments.
Sharhonda identifies as a Black woman of faith and integrates attention to cultural and spiritual factors when relevant. She often helps people talk through communication problems, control issues, and struggles with forgiveness or self-love. Many clients come to her wanting clearer boundaries or more purposeful direction in midlife.
Sessions include straightforward work on coping skills, emotion regulation, and problem-solving. She uses motivational interviewing techniques to clarify goals and strengthen motivation for change. Conversations are practical and focused on daily life tasks that clients can try between sessions.
Her approach aims to reduce isolation and rebuild connection through clearer communication and self-understanding. People who carry guilt or shame about relationships, choices, or identity may find focused attention on those feelings. To start, readers should confirm current session options before booking.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy is about listening closely to the person's experience and letting their concerns guide the work. Online sessions using this approach focus on reflecting what matters and building trust so the client can name priorities and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and test small behavior changes. In an online setting CBT can include practical homework, thought records, and brief in-session skill practice to address anxiety, guilt, or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. Those practices can be introduced in a single session and repeated between meetings to build steadier responses to shame or stress. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort. That means trying approaches, noticing what helps, and adjusting the plan together. The original profile does not list specific online formats, so readers should confirm session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about pacing, session length, and any preferences about video or audio so sessions fit into everyday routines.Areas of expertise
