Sharon Albert

Sharon Albert is a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 30 years in mental health work. She practices in Mississippi and helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship and family concerns. Sharon also supports clients coping with grief, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, career shifts, ADHD, and mood or personality concerns.

Sharon trained with a Master of Science in Counselor Education and holds a PhD in Educational Leadership. She was a school administrator for six years and worked in law enforcement for ten years, experience she draws on when clients need practical, down-to-earth guidance. Her long career includes work with a wide range of problems, from panic attacks and bipolar concerns to multicultural and financial stressors.

Her style blends clear listening with a focus on personal responsibility. She uses client-centered conversations to understand what matters most to each person. Then she pairs that with strategies from cognitive behavioral and solution-focused work to set small, doable goals.

Sharon also brings mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas into sessions when helpful, using attention to present experience and exploration of past patterns to reduce repeated struggles. She writes treatment plans around each person’s needs rather than applying a single method to everyone.

She encourages people to view seeking help as a brave first step. During work together she offers steady support while also asking for effort and accountability from the client. Those who reach out can expect practical tools, clear goals, and space to talk through difficult emotions.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and values. The therapist listens deeply and follows what matters most to the client, which can help with issues like relationship strain, anger, or low self-esteem.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, panic, or depressive symptoms and to manage impulsivity or anger.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of emotions and bodily signals. It can be useful for stress, trauma-related reactions, and ongoing mood worries.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each client about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. That process is collaborative and may shift as needs change.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats were not specified in the biography. Ask about the available online options when scheduling. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, fewer travel barriers, or choosing audio-only when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt these approaches to help clients make steady progress.
