About Sharon
Sharon Meyers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults carrying stress, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns, parenting questions, and issues around guilt and shame. She also helps people facing trauma, eating and self-esteem struggles, career changes, and compassion fatigue.
Sharon uses practical, conversational sessions to help people sort what matters most. She listens for patterns that keep reactions stuck and points out small shifts that can change daily experience. Sessions focus on what a person wants to do differently and on skills that can be tried between meetings.
Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to notice stuck thoughts and build values-based action. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about connection, trust, and how early relationships shape current feelings. Client-centered and existential approaches keep the conversation focused on each person's meaning and choices rather than on labels.
She also uses hypnotherapy when a person and Sharon agree it could be useful for symptom relief or habit change. Many clients bring practical goals such as sleeping better, reducing panic, improving intimacy, or navigating adoption and parenting transitions. Sharon pays attention to life context like caregiving stress, cancer, blended family issues, and fertility challenges.
Sessions are straightforward and rooted in real life. People who want clear, down-to-earth support for guilt, shame, or the stresses of everyday life may find this style helpful.
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, then identify personal values and take small steps toward those values. It can be helpful for anxiety, persistent guilt, or life changes that feel overwhelming. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of connection and trust from early relationships and links those patterns to current problems in intimacy, parenting, or family conflict. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so a person can find their own answers and decide what matters in life.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Sharon will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked before. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and adjust the plan as needed based on how things actually feel in day-to-day life.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work or caregiving schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that fits a busy day. They also let conversations continue across life transitions such as moves, adoption steps, fertility treatment, or caregiving demands. Ask about practicalities and session length during the matching and scheduling steps so the format matches your needs.
