About Sharon

Sharon Esters is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by offering steady, practical support. Sharon listens without judgment and helps clients find clearer ways forward.

She works with common problems such as anxiety, depression, stress, and low self-esteem. Sharon also helps people navigating relationship challenges, family conflict, parenting stress, and life changes. Codependency and issues around sexuality, including BDSM and kink, are listed among her areas of focus.

Sharon uses straightforward conversations and goal-focused work. She draws on client-centered methods to follow each person's lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. Mindfulness and solution-focused tools are added when they fit the client's goals.

Sessions aim to be practical and down-to-earth. Clients can expect to set simple goals, try small experiments between sessions, and check progress together. Sharon pays attention to cultural identity and LGBTQ concerns and aims to create an affirming space for those conversations.

With six years of clinical experience, Sharon balances empathy with clear, actionable steps. She helps people manage impulsivity, anger, addiction-related concerns, and caregiving stress. If someone wants help sorting through priorities, improving communication, or coping with trauma, Sharon offers steady support and problem-solving guidance.

How Sharon Uses Therapy Methods Online

Sharon often uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's priorities, which helps people feel heard and make their own choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sharon will work with each person to decide what methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That might mean trying a few techniques and adjusting as progress is made. If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session options before booking. The main practical benefits are flexibility and easier fitting of therapy into daily life. Online work can help when schedules are tight, when someone needs shorter check-ins, or when meeting without travel makes attendance easier. Therapists can use the same client-centered conversations and CBT skill-building in remote sessions, and the focus is on making therapy useful and manageable for each person.
