Sharon Link is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Missouri and Wyoming with 25 years of experience. She works with people managing depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and parenting concerns, and attention-related challenges. Her practice also addresses grief, sleep and eating problems, anger, and the strain that comes with caregiving and chronic illness.

Sharon uses straightforward, practical methods to help people handle current struggles. She focuses on skills you can use day to day, like coping strategies, emotion regulation, and problem-solving. Sessions involve talking through what is happening now and trying specific techniques to reduce distress.

Her background includes long experience with addiction treatment, including gambling problems, and with supporting people after physical or emotional trauma. She has worked with adults and young people across the lifespan, and with clients dealing with complicated family situations and attachment concerns.

In session Sharon combines Client-Centered approaches with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and she also draws on EMDR and Jungian ideas when they fit a person’s goals. She explains tools, practices them together, and adjusts methods as progress is made.

People who choose her can expect clear discussion about goals and practical steps to try between sessions. Sharon says clients direct their treatment while she offers guidance and concrete tools to help with everyday life changes.
