01About Sharon
Dr. Sharon Hansen offers a calm, direct approach for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - practicing in Wisconsin with six years of clinical therapy experience.
She aims to make the first steps less overwhelming and more manageable for anyone ready to try therapy. Her work reflects nearly three decades of additional experience as a school counselor, which shaped her practical, down-to-earth style.
Background and approach
In sessions she listens first, then helps clients set small, concrete goals. Conversations focus on what is most urgent and what can realistically change between appointments. She adapts methods to the person rather than using a fixed recipe.
That can mean using problem-solving steps from cognitive behavioral therapy, listening-focused client-centered work, or trauma-informed techniques when past harm is part of the story. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas are brought in to help people find motivation and short-term wins. Sharon treats concerns like panic attacks, seasonal mood shifts, family of origin issues, and questions about life purpose alongside more common worries.
Her style is respectful and practical, aiming to empower clients as they try new ways of coping. She works with people to build clearer plans and steady steps toward the changes they want. People who prefer straightforward, collaborative sessions often find her approach useful.
She invites clients to shape the pace and focus so therapy fits real life and real constraints.

Practical approaches for online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgment. It helps when someone needs a space to talk things through and to feel heard before moving toward change.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, then practices small behavior changes and new ways of thinking. It is often useful for anxiety, panic, depression, and managing stress.
Trauma-focused therapy pays attention to how past harm affects current reactions and coping. It uses careful steps to process traumatic memories and build safer ways of responding to triggers.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide whether to emphasize listening, skills practice, short-term problem solving, or trauma work, and they adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation; phone calls work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging can fit quick check-ins, brief reflections, or times when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep consistent momentum toward goals.
