About Shara
Shara Biggs is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee. She focuses on helping people manage addictions, trauma, depression, anxiety, and struggles with self-esteem. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at supporting people who want to make changes in their lives.
She uses a mix of evidence-informed approaches to tailor sessions to each person's needs. That includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small committed steps, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns.
Shara draws on four years of clinical experience working with a wide range of concerns. She works with issues such as grief, relationship and intimacy-related problems, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses neurodiversity and co-occurring challenges like ADHD and chronic illness when they come up in sessions.
Her practice pays attention to codependency, communication and control issues, and commitment or abandonment worries. Sessions aim to be practical - talking through current problems, building coping skills, and setting achievable goals to improve daily life.
People who reach out can expect a tailored approach. Shara adapts talk therapy and skills work to the person in the room, helping them create a plan that fits their values and real-world needs.
How therapy approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking small actions that match those values. It helps when someone feels stuck, anxious, or unsure how to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills for changing them, which can help with depression, anxiety, and coping with stress. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship experiences shape current ways of relating and can be useful for intimacy, trust, and communication concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration means trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Confirm the available session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing for appointments during breaks or from another room. They also allow a mix of conversation and skills practice that can be used between sessions to build new habits and cope with daily stressors.
