About Shara

Shara Trumbull is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Tennessee with 25 years of experience. She centers her work on emotional wellness and helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. Her approach is faith-informed and grounded in respect for each person's story.

Shara focuses on practical steps people can use in daily life. She helps clients build clearer communication, stronger self-understanding, and healthier ways of coping. Sessions emphasize listening, gentle challenge, and achievable goals rather than long theoretical lectures.

Her background combines long-term clinical experience with an interest in how attachment and relationships shape feelings. She uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds influence current patterns. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation focused on each person’s priorities and pace.

Shara works with a wide range of concerns including grief, addiction, parenting strain, anger, caregiving stress, and career transitions. She also supports people dealing with trauma, self-esteem issues, and changes such as divorce or infertility. The work is collaborative and paced to the client’s readiness.

In sessions she invites reflection and practical change. Clients can expect a mix of listening, gentle feedback, and concrete strategies to try between meetings. To begin, readers should follow the site’s process to match and schedule based on availability.

How her approaches guide online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. It helps people who notice repeating patterns in relationships or who struggle with trust and closeness. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation focused on the person's goals, letting the session move at the client's pace and emphasizing their own insight and choices.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with clients to figure out which methods fit their needs and goals. That process often begins by talking about what is most pressing and trying a few practical steps to see what helps.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as current options are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins during breaks at work or between appointments. It can also make it simpler to keep a series of sessions when life gets hectic, while still focusing on communication patterns, coping strategies, and relationship concerns.
