Sharon Cova Zamora , LMFT

Sharon Cova Zamora is a California-licensed therapist with eight years of clinical experience who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship concerns, and identity-related challenges. As an LMFT - a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - she brings a relational perspective to therapy and attends to how patterns in relationships and attachment shape current struggles.

She works with clients on a range of concerns including stress management, anxiety, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem and confidence, and depression. Sharon emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and emotions can be explored honestly, allowing clients to build insight and practical coping skills.

Sharon approaches the first step toward change as an act of courage and positions herself as a supportive guide through that process. She collaborates with each person to identify goals, address barriers like guilt or shame, and help cultivate a more fulfilling and resilient life.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Accessible Online Therapy

Sharon uses evidence-based cognitive and behavioral techniques that help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical coping strategies. These approaches are often useful for managing anxiety, stress, low mood, and self-esteem concerns by teaching skills for emotion regulation and behavior change.

She also incorporates trauma-informed methods that prioritize pacing, safety, and the gradual processing of past harm. These approaches support people who have experienced trauma or abuse and who are coping with guilt, shame, or post-traumatic stress symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Sharon works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She helps clients test and adapt techniques so care aligns with their experience.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - and can make it easier to schedule care, maintain continuity, and work on goals from wherever the client is located. Sharon provides therapy in both English and Spanish and can work with international clients to support their progress.
