Sharon Holmberg, LCSW

Sharon Holmberg is an LCSW with 28 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people who struggle with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Sharon aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where people can begin to make change.

She works with individuals facing life transitions and those needing practical coping strategies. Conversations are tailored to each person's needs and concerns. Sharon emphasizes clear, real-world steps rather than jargon, so people can use what they learn between sessions.

Her approach centers on listening first and then building a plan together. That plan may include ways to manage panic or mood shifts, repair strained communication, or handle caregiver stress. Sharon also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose.

Sharon frames therapy as a partnership. She encourages people to set small, achievable goals and to notice progress along the way. Her manner is patient and direct, aiming to empower clients to make practical changes in daily life.

She practices in Mississippi and conducts sessions in English. Sharon asks clients to be ready to share what they hope to achieve so she can match techniques to those goals. The first step is a simple conversation to find what will help most.

How evidence-based methods translate to online work

Two common evidence-based approaches often used for stress, anxiety, and trauma are practical skills training and focused processing work. Practical skills training teaches concrete tools for breathing, grounding, and managing panic or intense emotion; these tools are meant to be practiced between sessions. Focused processing work helps people make sense of painful experiences and reduce their hold on daily life by slowly revisiting memories with support.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that match those goals. Expect adjustments as progress is tracked and needs change over time.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the original biography. Online therapy can help fit work into a busy life by removing travel time and making sessions easier to schedule. It also allows shorter check-ins when a quick update helps, or conversations that fit into a lunch break or between other obligations. Ask about how sessions are scheduled and what rhythm of meetings might work best for your needs.
