About Sharon

Sharon Franklin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, depression, and issues linked to family of origin. She also helps people dealing with attachment questions, adoption and foster care history, and challenges such as codependency or body image concerns.

Sharon draws on practical, evidence-based techniques in sessions. She listens actively and focuses on straightforward problem solving. Conversations usually look at how past family roles and expectations still affect everyday choices and relationships. The aim is clearer thinking and more effective coping rather than long explanations.

Her work often addresses tangled family patterns like blended family dynamics, fatherhood questions, or ongoing conflict from early years. She also supports people facing separation, divorce, immigration stress, or grief after loss. When trauma or domestic violence is part of the history, the focus stays on current safety and manageable steps forward.

Sharon uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Rational Emotive Behavioral ideas alongside person-centered conversation. That mix helps identify unhelpful thinking, reframe expectations, and practice different behaviors in real life. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, with attention to skills people can use between meetings.

People starting work with Sharon are asked to share recent concerns and what they want to change. From there she and the client map out short-term goals and ways to measure progress. Her practice is based in Texas and sessions are conducted in English.

Evidence-based approaches and remote sessions

Sharon commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches skills to change unhelpful thinking patterns. This method is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

She also incorporates person-centered techniques that emphasize listening and reflecting to help people clarify what matters to them. Together these approaches aim to identify practical steps and build coping skills for daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon reviews a client's goals, history, and preferences and collaborates on which techniques to try first. She adjusts plans as progress is observed and as needs shift, working with clients to set short-term goals and measure improvement.
