About Sharon
Dr. Sharon Belhamel is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Georgia with 20 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, stress, and life transitions. She also addresses issues such as addiction, grief, intimacy-related concerns, ADHD, and family of origin matters.
Sharon combines practical conversation with structured therapy methods. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and on acceptance and commitment strategies to help people clarify values and take manageable steps. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early family roles and patterns still influence current relationships.
Sessions focus on concrete skills and real-life changes. Clients can expect to talk about day-to-day patterns, practice behavioral tools, and set small goals between meetings. She also uses emotion-focused and dialectical approaches when intense feelings or relationship cycles are part of the problem.
Her background spans two decades of clinical work with adults facing career strain, caregiving stress, and identity questions including LGBT concerns. Sharon notes additional interest areas such as adoption and foster care, abandonment, body image, chronic illness, and codependency.
She accepts international clients and provides services in English. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and details about how the subscription-based sessions work.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. Online sessions can focus on simple exercises and real-world actions to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses practical tools to change unhelpful thinking. In remote sessions, CBT often includes short between-session tasks and moment-to-moment skill practice. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early family roles and closeness patterns shape current relationships. Working through these patterns online involves talking about formative experiences and trying new interaction styles in everyday life.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as progress is made. That shared process helps match techniques to the issues people bring, whether relationship patterns, anxiety, or coping with change.
Confirm the session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work or caregiving schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. Discuss practical needs such as whether to use video or an audio-only visit when arranging the first appointment.
