About Sharon

Sharon Esters is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who focuses on helping people manage major life stressors. She has six years of clinical experience supporting people with anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, and addiction-related struggles. Sharon aims to create an affirming space that respects diverse identities and backgrounds.

She uses straightforward, person-focused methods that let clients set the pace and goals. Sessions often center on building coping skills, improving communication, and addressing relationship and family tensions. Sharon pays attention to how culture, sexuality, and life roles shape each person's story.

Clients working with her commonly address parenting stress, workplace pressures, and transitions like separation or changes in family structure. She also supports people exploring sexuality and alternative relationship cultures, and those coping with trauma, anger, or impulsivity. Sharon listens for practical steps that make daily life feel more manageable.

Her work draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's priorities, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and Mindfulness and Solution-Focused ideas to build small, doable changes. She helps people try new skills in between sessions and track what helps most.

People who reach out can expect a calm, direct approach that focuses on clear goals and steady progress. Before scheduling, clients should confirm session options and any logistical details they need to plan for.

How Sharon's approaches translate to online work

Sharon commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's priorities and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration, which helps shape goals that matter to the client. CBT focuses on specific thoughts and habits that get in the way, and on practical skills to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sharon will discuss options and adjust methods based on the client's goals, needs, and preferences so therapy feels useful and manageable. The process is collaborative and paced to what the person is ready for.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce time spent traveling, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to continue care through moves or other life changes while keeping the focus on clear goals and practical skills.
