About Shara

Shara Biggs is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Tennessee with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, and self-esteem. She also supports people facing relationship and family patterns, grief, stress, and challenges with focus or motivation.

In sessions she uses straightforward conversation and practical tools. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts that keep problems going. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice values and make choices that matter to them.

Attachment-Based Therapy informs her work with family of origin issues and connection difficulties. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills appear when emotional regulation and intense feelings are central. Client-Centered Therapy guides the pace and focus so the person sets goals and steers the work.

Shara explains options and then adapts the plan to what each person prefers. She will talk through strategies for coping, changing patterns, and managing symptoms between sessions. Practical steps, exercises, and plain language are typical parts of the work.

Sessions are provided in English. People who want to start can expect a brief matching process and a first appointment that focuses on priorities and what to do next.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Many of Shara's methods focus on noticing patterns and practicing different responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try experiments to change behavior. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and problems with motivation. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to clarify what matters to them and to take actions that align with those values while accepting uncomfortable feelings.

Attachment-Based Therapy informs work around family of origin issues and connection problems. It looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current expectations and boundaries. Together, the therapist and client decide which approaches to emphasize based on the person’s goals, needs, and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and new information emerge.

The profile does not state which specific online session formats are offered. Confirm current session options before booking so you know whether appointments are by phone, video, or another format. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. A first appointment typically reviews priorities and agrees on helpful tools and between-session work.
