About Shara
Shara Biggs is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with four years of experience. She focuses on common and difficult life problems such as addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, and parenting concerns. She also works with issues around relationships, self-esteem, grief, and coping with big life changes.
Her approach is practical and conversational. She uses methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and try small, doable changes. Sessions tend to focus on improving day-to-day coping and clearer communication rather than on jargon or theory.
Shara helps people talk through struggles that come from past hurt, ongoing stress, or fluctuating moods. She pays attention to how attachment patterns and relationship habits show up in daily life. She also addresses work-related burnout and compassion fatigue for caregivers and professionals.
She takes an individualized approach to goals and planning. That means working together to set practical steps and check progress over time. The emphasis is on skills you can use between sessions, such as grounding, emotion regulation, and clearer problem-solving.
Sessions are conducted in English and are offered to people located in Tennessee. If you are considering starting therapy there is a short matching questionnaire to complete before scheduling a first session. This helps clarify needs and next steps.
How sessions work
How Shara’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small actions that matter. In practice this often means naming what matters to you and experimenting with small behavior changes to reduce suffering and increase contact with meaningful life areas. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on testing unhelpful thoughts and building practical skills. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns by breaking problems into manageable steps and practicing new responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences and make decisions together about which methods to emphasize. That collaborative process can include trying something for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.
The original profile does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy home life, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Over time, remote sessions can help people practice skills in the context of everyday routines and track progress between meetings.
