About Shara
Shara Biggs is an LPC practicing in Tennessee who uses practical, person-focused therapy to help people manage strong emotions. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in sessions. Shara frames the work as a partnership and tailors conversations to each person’s situation.
Shara draws on several approaches when helping people cope with anger and related concerns. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice tough thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her work when people want concrete tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also brings client-centered listening to create a calm, nonjudgmental space.
Her practice includes support for worries like anxiety, stress, depression, grief, and issues related to relationships and self-esteem. She also helps with addictions, caregiving strain, sleep and eating concerns, and life changes such as divorce or job shifts. Anger is one of the focus areas she addresses alongside trauma, ADHD, and other challenges.
With four years of professional experience as a licensed professional counselor, she builds treatment around what each person needs most. Sessions are shaped to practical goals, like improving communication, reducing intense reactions, or finding clearer direction after a setback.
Shara asks people to take the first step when they feel ready and offers steady support through the process. To begin, readers should follow the site’s Start Therapy flow to match and schedule according to availability.

Approaches That Guide Online Work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it focuses on choosing actions that match a person’s values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers practical strategies to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviors, which can reduce reactive responses and improve mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard and can shape the pace and direction of work.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as needs change.
For online work, confirm available session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use video, audio, or other supported formats that match their comfort and practical needs. Ask about the specific session options during the matching and scheduling steps so arrangements fit your routine.
