Sharon Link

Sharon Link is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience. She works with adults and young people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood patterns, addictions, anger, and relationship stresses. Sharon aims to make therapy practical and straightforward so people can use what they learn in daily life.

Her style is warm and interactive. She treats people with respect and sensitivity and focuses on teaching tools clients can practice between sessions. Clients set the goals and pace, and she offers guidance so they can move toward a more satisfying life.

Sharon draws from several approaches to meet different needs. She uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to each person. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She also incorporates dialectical behavior work and EMDR when those methods fit the concern.

Her background includes many years helping people after trauma or abuse, and supporting those coping with chronic stress, grief, or life changes. She has worked with adults of all ages, children, and adolescents, and has experience treating gambling and substance addictions.

Sharon is licensed as an LCSW in Missouri and Wyoming. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. To begin, clients follow the site's Start Therapy flow to match and schedule based on availability.

How these approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on following the client's priorities and building a respectful, supportive relationship. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist respond to what matters most and shape the work around each person's goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches clear skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT online often includes homework and brief skill practice between meetings to reinforce progress.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal skills. When used online, DBT techniques can help people manage strong feelings and reduce impulsive reactions in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can change as problems shift and progress happens.

If you want online care, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats were not listed in the original biography. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings around work, caregiving, or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time, and let people practice skills in their everyday routines.
