About Sharon
Sharon Esters is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, addictions, and parenting. Sharon also lists family and relationship issues, ADHD, trauma, and LGBTQ matters among her areas of focus.
She keeps sessions practical and direct. Conversations often start with what is most pressing at home or in daily life. Sharon uses brief, goal-oriented steps alongside listening to what matters to the person in front of her.
Sharon draws on Client-Centered methods to center the person's perspective and build on their strengths. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. Mindfulness practices are introduced when helpful to steady attention and manage stress.
Clients commonly bring concerns about parenting strain, family conflict, communication problems, or changes after separation. Sharon also notes work with issues such as abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, and aspects of alternative sexual culture like BDSM and kink. She talks through ways to improve day-to-day functioning and decision making.
The practice aims to identify clear next steps each week. Sessions look at practical tools people can try between meetings and then review what helped. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the therapist’s online options.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Sharon uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person’s own perspective and priorities. This approach means the conversation follows what matters most to the client and works from their strengths to find ways forward.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT is useful for addresses like anxiety, low mood, stress, and patterns that get in the way of daily functioning.
Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. Sharon collaborates with the person to match methods to their goals and preferences. Early sessions are used to see what feels useful and to adjust the plan as needed.
