About Sharon
Sharon Bailey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas with 30 years of social work experience. She works with people wrestling with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, depression, sleep and eating issues, parenting strains, career stress, and trauma-related problems.

Her approach is practical and client-centered. Sessions involve collaborative goal setting, conversational work, and homework between meetings. She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies, solution-focused techniques, narrative approaches, and existential ideas when appropriate.

Sessions are conducted in English and Sharon accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online booking flow.
BHow sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Sharon often uses client-centered work that focuses on the person's goals and priorities. This approach means sessions are driven by what the client wants to address and the therapist listens and reflects to help clarify next steps.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and often involves simple exercises and homework to try between meetings to reduce anxiety, depression, or problematic habits.
Solution-focused techniques are part of her toolkit as well. These methods concentrate on small, achievable changes and on what is already working, which can be useful for busy people who need targeted steps to manage stress or specific problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will explore goals, preferences, and daily constraints with the client and recommend which methods to try. Decisions about approach are collaborative and adjusted over time based on progress and feedback.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - shorter check-ins around work, no travel, or fewer interruptions to family routines. It can also let people use methods like CBT homework or tapping exercises between meetings to reinforce progress.
