About Sharon
Sharon Esters is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. She has six years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and life transitions. Sharon aims to create an affirming, respectful space where clients feel heard and seen.
Her work emphasizes practical, person-focused support rather than labels. She uses straightforward tools to help people respond differently to difficult emotions and improve daily functioning. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, doable steps toward change.
Background and approach
Sharon draws on Client-Centered Therapy to build strong therapeutic relationships and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to help people manage intense feelings and stay grounded in the moment. Her practice includes attention to identity and culture, with specific experience supporting LGBT clients and people navigating sexuality, kink, and alternative sex culture.
She also addresses parenting stress, caregiver strain, relationship and family concerns, and challenges like addiction, ADHD, and bipolar disorder. In sessions clients can expect a calm, direct style that balances listening with practical strategies. Sharon helps people name patterns, set reasonable goals, and practice new skills between meetings.
The focus is on making everyday life a bit easier and more manageable.

How direct approaches translate to online care
Sharon uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change the behaviors that follow. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and patterns like impulsivity because it breaks problems into specific thoughts and actions to work on.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship. That approach emphasizes listening, reflecting, and helping clients find their own solutions, which can be especially helpful when working through identity, relationship, or family concerns.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. Sharon talks with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try techniques, review what helps, and adjust the plan as needed so sessions stay practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility across formats. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let clients share thoughts between meetings and use brief check-ins that fit into busy days. These options make it easier to maintain consistency and keep progress moving forward.
