Sharkea uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a core approach. She focuses on practical steps clients can use between sessions. Conversations are direct and goal-oriented, with attention to how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and daily functioning.
She works with clients who are trying to regain motivation, build confidence, or navigate life changes. Sharkea encourages people to recognize their strengths and apply those strengths to challenges. She frames clients as the experts on their own stories while offering tools and perspective to move forward.
In sessions, Sharkea typically helps clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors. She guides small experiments people can try in everyday life to see what works. Progress is tracked through clear, practical steps rather than abstract concepts.

How CBT is used in online sessions
Sharkea relies on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people map how thoughts influence feelings and actions. CBT sessions teach practical skills such as spotting negative thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety or lift mood.The therapist will treat choosing techniques as a collaborative process. She works with clients to pick strategies that match their goals, daily routines, and what feels manageable, adjusting the plan as progress is tracked.
Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule by reducing travel time and allowing sessions during breaks or between appointments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when that suits a client's needs, or session timing that better fits work and family commitments. Licensed professionals often use these practical benefits to help people maintain consistency with skill practice and follow-up between meetings.
