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 facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, career pressures, grief, and other life changes. She also addresses concerns such as addiction, ADHD, intimacy issues, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach is grounded in practical therapy methods that help people handle day-to-day problems at home and work. Sessions focus on clear strategies for managing anxiety and mood, improving relationship interactions, and making decisions during transitions. She draws on techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify patterns of thought and from acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and next steps.
Attachment-based ideas shape how she thinks about close relationships and recurring conflict. That perspective is often used when people bring issues tied to abandonment, attachment, blended family concerns, or adoption and foster care. Dialectical behavior therapy tools are available to build emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills when feelings feel overwhelming.
She combines a client-centered stance with structured skills work, so sessions can include both listening and practical homework. People can expect a mix of talking, skill practice, and planning for small changes they can use between meetings. The goal is steady, manageable progress rather than quick fixes.
Her practice also covers caregiving stress, chronic illness and disability, body image, and work-related burnout. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients; confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for depression, anxiety, and deciding what matters during life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches skills to change them, which helps with anxiety, mood, and coping at home.Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns affect current interactions. It can illuminate recurring conflict, abandonment worries, blended family tensions, and issues tied to adoption and foster care. Using attachment ideas alongside skills work helps translate insights into everyday behavior changes.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and practical needs, and then try methods that fit those priorities. That collaborative process helps shape whether sessions emphasize values work, thought education, or emotional regulation skills.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can guide practical skill practice, homework, and planning so changes carry into home and family life.
