About Sharon
Sharon Calhoun is a licensed master social worker with 35 years of experience helping people in Michigan face hard moments. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, anger, and relationship issues. Sharon aims to make therapy straightforward and practical so people can start feeling steadier in daily life.
Sharon uses clear, goal-oriented methods to help clients understand patterns and try different ways of coping.
Background and approach
She often combines approaches that look at how early attachment affects current relationships and tools that change thoughts and behaviors. Sessions tend to focus on small, manageable changes that add up over time. Her style is warm and collaborative.
She listens for what matters most to each person and helps set steps that fit real life. People can expect a mix of talking, skills practice, and planning between sessions to make progress outside the appointment time.
Sharon has worked across many phases of adult life and has particular experience with issues like abandonment, family of origin concerns, blended family dynamics, fatherhood topics, and problems tied to substance use. She also addresses communication problems, codependency, control issues, and feelings of emptiness.
In sessions she may draw on Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy as tools to support goals. Her approach aims to help people feel more connected to their choices and more confident managing strong emotions such as anger.

How Sharon’s approaches work online
Sharon often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy as part of her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process past hurt and learn coping strategies for flashbacks, hypervigilance, or painful memories.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Sharon works together with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. That collaboration includes checking in and adapting techniques if something isn’t helping.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work between sessions.
