About Sharon
Dr. Sharon Belhamel is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Georgia with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, anger, and life transitions. She also supports people facing addiction, grief, identity and intimacy concerns, and challenges related to ADHD and bipolar conditions.
She takes a straightforward, problem-focused approach in sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now - patterns of behavior, triggers for strong reactions, and the choices someone can practice differently. Practical skills and clear steps are emphasized over abstract talk. Clients will work on noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing new actions, and trying behavioral strategies between sessions.
Her clinical toolkit includes cognitive behavioral methods to change thought-behavior cycles, dialectical behavior strategies for regulating intense feelings, and acceptance and commitment ideas about settling on valued actions. Attachment-based perspectives guide work on relationship patterns and trust. The sessions are person-centered in tone, meaning the client’s experience shapes what happens next.
Sharon blends short-term skill-building with longer-term work on patterns that repeat across relationships and jobs. She names problems directly and helps clients practice changes in everyday settings. Progress is tracked through specific goals and small experiments clients can do between appointments.
Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are accepted. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and formats.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Many clients find a mix of approaches useful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anger and anxiety. It is practical and often uses exercises to try between sessions.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills. Those techniques help people notice intense feelings and use step-by-step tools to reduce reactivity. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and helps people change how they connect with others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, then together you will try methods that fit your situation. That collaborative process can include short skills training, behavior experiments, and checking how changes feel in daily life.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people practice skills in real-life environments and bring immediate examples into the session for troubleshooting.
