About Sharon
Sharon Calhoun is an LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker practicing in Michigan with 35 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, and anger. Her practice includes concerns tied to family of origin, abandonment, attachment, and fatherhood issues.
Sharon draws on a mix of practical therapies rather than one single technique. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at patterns that repeat between people. She applies cognitive behavioral work to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior cycles. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change.
In sessions she aims for clear, plain conversation. Clients can expect steady pacing, direct feedback, and short-term strategies alongside deeper inquiry. She often helps people break problems into manageable steps and test new ways of coping between meetings.
Her background includes many years working across adult life stages in Michigan. That experience informs how she frames goals and suggests small experiments clients can try in daily life. She also brings focused work on trauma when past events continue to affect mood or relationships.
Sharon encourages people to name the guilt or shame that follows actions or identity questions. She helps people look at what those feelings ask for and what might be a next step. To begin, readers are asked to follow the site’s booking flow to select online therapy options and schedule an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at repeating relationship patterns and how early bonds shape current responses. Online sessions can use these ideas to map who does what in a relationship and practice new interactions in real life between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes. In remote sessions that work well with short homework tasks, clients track thoughts and try experiments between appointments to see what changes. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, and then she and the client decide together which methods to try first. That collaborative planning helps match techniques to the concerns someone brings, whether it is persistent guilt, relapse risk, or trouble with boundaries. The practical benefits of online sessions should be checked before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Ask which session formats are available and how they fit your routine. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit around work, caregiving, or mobility limits, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to try tools between meetings without extra travel.Areas of expertise
