About Sharon
Sharon Mortimer is a licensed clinical social worker with more than four decades of experience. She practices from a person-focused stance and aims to listen closely to whoever comes to her. Sharon emphasizes emotional connection and practical steps rather than jargon.
Sharon blends several approaches to match each person’s needs. She often draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and shift painful emotions. She also uses client-centered methods to make space for a person’s own goals and cognitive-behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.

Her experience includes work with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and addictions. Sharon can talk through relationship and family concerns and helps people address issues like communication problems, separation, and forgiveness. She also supports people facing guilt, shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose.
Sharon has specific familiarity with mood disorders, personality concerns, and challenges that can come from military life. She has seen how trauma and abuse affect daily functioning and knows how to pace work so people feel safe while they process hard experiences. Her style is direct and warm.
Sessions focus on clear goals, learning new skills, and building emotional awareness. Sharon encourages steady progress and works with each person to choose practical steps that fit their life.

Emotion and Skill Work in Online Sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and shifting core emotions that drive relationship and personal patterns. In practice this means naming feelings, tracking how they show up in behavior, and trying new emotional responses to reduce recurring conflict or distress.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening without judgment and letting the person set the pace and goals. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so people can find their own answers and build confidence in their choices.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to see what changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that keep problems going because it teaches step-by-step strategies to change thinking and action.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Sharon will discuss options and tailor techniques to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences so sessions stay relevant and useful. She blends emotional work with concrete skills rather than using one fixed method.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins, and text-based messaging can keep a steady thread between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still working on emotions and skills.
