About Sharon
Dr. Sharon Anderson is a Colorado Psychologist (CO Psychologist PSY.0001971) with 19 years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship strain, grief, anger, and major life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and she is available to work with international clients as noted in her profile.
She focuses on practical conversation and goal-setting. In sessions she listens for patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behavior that keep problems active. She then works with people to identify small, doable steps that can change those patterns over time.
Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That mix means sessions can move between open, exploratory conversation and focused skills practice or goal planning, depending on what a person needs that week.
People come to her for a range of concerns beyond anger, including codependency, communication difficulties, guilt and shame, feelings of emptiness, midlife questions, and multicultural issues. She also addresses mood disorders and seasonal affective concerns when they affect daily life and relationships.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. If you want to handle anger more constructively, she helps map practical steps and keeps work straightforward and focused on real-life change.
How sessions work
Approaches used and what online sessions can look like
Dr. Anderson uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy as core tools. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing out different behaviors to reduce anger, anxiety, or low mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflection so a person can make sense of their feelings and choose next steps.She also uses Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused ideas when helpful. Motivational Interviewing supports small changes by clarifying a person’s own reasons for change. Solution-Focused work helps set short-term, practical goals and track progress week to week. Choosing which approach to use is part of the work together rather than a fixed plan up front.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk about goals, try an approach for a few sessions, and adjust based on what the client finds useful. That lets sessions shift between exploring what matters and practicing specific skills or plans.
The profile does not list exact session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or avoid travel time. The focus is practical: use approaches that fit daily life and keep progress measurable and realistic.
