About SHARON
SHARON ZIGMAN is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 25 years of experience helping people manage strong emotions and life disruptions. She focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and anger. Her work centers on clear goals and usable skills rather than long lectures.
Clients can expect straightforward, person-focused care that begins with listening. Sharon pays attention to how past experiences shape current reactions. She helps people recognize patterns such as attachment problems, control issues, and family of origin dynamics.
Background and approach
Sharon uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She often draws on cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also incorporates dialectical skills for emotional regulation and client-centered listening to keep sessions grounded in the person's priorities.
Sessions emphasize concrete strategies for daily life. People leave with simple skills for managing anger, reducing anxiety, coping with loss, and improving communication. Sharon also addresses co-occurring concerns like guilt, shame, isolation, and dependent personality traits.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She works with clients to set realistic steps and measure progress. The aim is steady improvement so people feel more in control and better able to handle life changes.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person first and gives space for them to set the agenda and pace; it helps when someone needs acceptance, clearer self-understanding, and a steady, supportive listener. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches concrete steps to change thinking and behavior, which is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and managing cravings. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, often helping people who struggle with intense emotions or patterns of reacting under stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Sharon will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs, then recommend or blend methods that fit. That collaborative process can be adjusted as the person makes progress or faces new challenges.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video sessions allow face-to-face connection and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports short updates or ongoing skills practice. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, steadier continuity during life changes, and different ways to practice skills between sessions.
