Sharon Albert , LPC

Sharon Albert is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi with more than three decades of experience in mental health and counseling. She holds a Master of Science in Counselor Education and a PhD in Educational Leadership, and she has been practicing as a counselor and therapist since 1999. Her LPC credential indicates formal licensure to provide professional counseling services in clinical settings.

Prior to focusing full time on counseling, Sharon served as a school administrator for six years and spent a decade working in law enforcement. Those roles shaped a practical, grounded approach to care and contribute to her ability to work effectively with a wide range of concerns. Over the years she has supported people coping with depression, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, parenting struggles, career transitions, PTSD, ADHD, grief, trauma, and other mood and adjustment issues.

Sharon blends multiple therapeutic approaches to fit each person's needs, including cognitive-behavioral methods, psychodynamic insights, solution-focused strategies, reality-oriented techniques, mindfulness practices, and interpersonal work. She emphasizes compassion paired with personal accountability and develops individualized treatment plans rather than one-size-fits-all solutions. Sharon approaches the work as a collaborative journey and offers steady support as clients pursue healthier patterns and clearer direction.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Sharon commonly uses client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based techniques in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathy, active listening, and building a safe therapeutic relationship so clients can explore their values and goals and feel heard. CBT helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance skills that can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Sharon works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors treatment plans to each individual, combining strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to maintain continuity of care from different locations. These formats allow clients to access licensed professionals and continue therapeutic work in ways that fit busy lives, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility limitations.
