About Sharon

Sharon Campbell is a California LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 15 years of practice. She works with adults on stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, anger, depression, and relationship and family concerns. Sessions also address sleep problems, parenting strain, ADHD, addictions, and career stress.

Sharon uses practical talking and active skills work rather than abstract theory. She focuses on building stronger attachment patterns and clearer communication. That can look like mapping how past relationships shape current reactions, rehearsing different responses, and practicing emotion-regulation skills between sessions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills support impulse control and distress tolerance when feelings feel overwhelming. Mindfulness practices are introduced to help calm the body and ground attention in moments of high arousal.

Her client-centered stance means much of the work follows the client's priorities and pace. Sharon says she adapts conversation and plans to the situation the client brings into the room. The emphasis is on practical steps - small experiments, communication practice, and skills to reduce reactivity.

She brings fifteen years of experience to more complicated presentations, such as co-morbidity, dissociation, and caregiver stress. Sharon also works with issues like abandonment, infidelity, and forgiveness where those themes interact with anger or long-term resentments.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Sharon integrates attachment-based work and cognitive behavioral techniques in a way that fits straightforward online sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how past relationship patterns influence current reactions and helps people practice different ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing new behaviors, and using short homework experiments to reduce anger and anxiety.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, stressors, and what feels practical. Together they try methods, check what helps, and adjust the plan based on real-life results rather than assumptions.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into workdays, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let them try skills between meetings with regular follow-up. Online meetings can also make it easier to practice real-time communication or grounding exercises in everyday settings. Sharon will work with each person to match pacing and exercises to daily life.
