About Sharon

Dr. Sharon Anderson is a Colorado licensed psychologist with 19 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, life changes, and relationship concerns. She emphasizes a calm, nonjudgmental way of working so people can speak openly about their thoughts and feelings.

She focuses on practical goals and small steps that feel doable. Sessions are collaborative - the person and therapist set goals together and track progress over time. Dr. Anderson pays attention to motivation, self-esteem, and confidence while addressing grief, anger, career pressures, and seasonal mood shifts.

Codependency and communication problems are among the issues she pays special attention to, alongside feelings of emptiness, shame, or isolation. She also supports people facing midlife questions, career transitions, and multicultural concerns. Her approach aims to help people notice patterns and try different ways of coping.

Dr. Anderson uses methods drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused ideas. These tools are used to set clear steps, test new behaviors, and strengthen motivation. She describes therapy as a space to try things out and make steady progress toward the goals the person wants.

Therapy is offered in English and Dr. Anderson accepts international clients. She encourages anyone curious about starting to use the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How her approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist reflects what is said, supports the person’s own goals, and helps build confidence to try new things. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It breaks concerns into manageable steps, practices new responses, and measures what helps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Anderson collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She will check in and adjust the plan as progress is made, so therapy stays focused and useful.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue therapy across locations, which is helpful for those who travel or live outside Colorado.
