About Sharon
Sharon Torian is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with three years of professional experience. She works with adults on relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, stress, anxiety, career questions, and coping with life changes.
Sharon helps people who are struggling with motivation and confidence. She talks through practical steps and supports clients as they try new ways of behaving. She also addresses issues like caregiver stress, blended family tensions, control and impulsivity, and feelings around money and forgiveness.
Sharon names guilt and shame among the concerns she addresses. She listens for where those feelings come from and helps people separate what they did from who they are. That often means looking at past events, current relationships, and the self-critical thoughts that keep people stuck.
Her sessions are discussion-based and focused on clear goals. Sharon works with clients to set small, achievable steps between sessions. She pays attention to cultural background and the real-life limits people face when they make changes.
People often come for help with social anxiety, jealousy, midlife questions, or issues tied to intellectual disability and young adulthood. Sharon also supports people facing multicultural concerns and the strain of caregiving. Her approach is practical and centered on the problem at hand.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
Sharon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete skills and behavioral change. One common approach involves identifying and changing self-critical thoughts so guilt and shame become more manageable; this helps with anxiety and low self-esteem by shifting unhelpful thinking patterns. Another approach centers on problem-solving and action steps to reduce anger, stress, and relationship strain; sessions often include small tasks to practice between meetings.Choosing which techniques to use is a shared process. Sharon will work with each person to see which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. The therapist and client check in together and adjust the approach as progress is made or priorities change.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow quicker check-ins when needed, and remove travel time from appointments. Some formats also let people choose not to use video, which can help when bandwidth is limited or a shorter phone check-in fits better into a work break.
