Shara Trumbull, LCSW

Shara Trumbull is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience in Tennessee. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety while also addressing related concerns like depression, addictions, and relationship strain. Her practice emphasizes a faith-informed perspective alongside practical support. Shara aims to help clients build clearer self-awareness and stronger communication skills. She listens for patterns rooted in attachment and past hurt, and she helps people name those patterns so they can try different responses. Sessions tend to focus on small, doable steps rather than big, sudden changes. Clients find straightforward guidance on coping with life transitions, grief, and parenting stress. Shara also supports people facing career shifts, caregiver burnout, and challenges linked to chronic illness or fertility struggles. She pays attention to how past family dynamics show up in present behavior. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. The work leans on Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to shape conversations and goals. Shara encourages clients to set realistic targets and practice new skills between meetings. Practical tools are part of the process - grounding exercises, communication rehearsals, and ways to manage intense emotions. The aim is steady progress toward better day-to-day functioning. Prospective clients can expect a collaborative, values-aware approach to emotional healing.

How attachment and client-centered work translate online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape current relationships. Online sessions can help people notice those patterns, name what feels familiar, and practice new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, listening stance where the client sets the pace and goals. This approach supports people who want to explore values, make decisions, or build self-understanding. Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then try approaches that fit the client's needs. That process can change over time as progress and priorities shift. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and let someone join from a place that works for them. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn't needed or offer options that save on commuting. Because session formats are not specified in the profile, confirm which formats are available before booking so you can pick what fits your routine and technical comfort level.
