About Sharon
AASW social worker with 3 years of experience. Sharon Hacker helps people with stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and depression.
Sharon focuses on direct, practical conversations. She keeps sessions straightforward and workmanlike. People come for help when they feel overwhelmed, unsure about relationships, or when past harm keeps affecting day-to-day life.
In sessions Sharon listens to what’s happening now and what has happened before. She helps people name patterns, try small changes, and test whether those changes make things easier. Conversations cover feelings, behaviours, and concrete steps someone can try between appointments.
Sharon also works with concerns often linked to identity and behaviour, such as gender dysphoria, neurodivergence like autism and Asperger syndrome, codependency, and issues around kink and BDSM culture. She addresses practical problems such as communication breakdowns, commitment worries, and concerns about body image or sexual health.
The approach is collaborative rather than prescriptive. Sharon and the person set goals and try approaches that fit the person’s life and timetable. Sessions can include short-term problem solving or longer work on patterns that repeat over years.
People who choose Sharon are usually looking for clear conversation, practical steps, and help making sense of difficult feelings and relationships.

How Sharon integrates evidence-based approaches with remote work
Sharon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions, focusing on approaches that help with anxiety, stress and trauma. One common approach she draws on helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and test alternative ways of thinking; this can reduce anxiety and make daily tasks feel more manageable. Another approach focuses on working through the impact of past harm by helping people name what happened, understand its effects, and practise different responses to triggers.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Sharon works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She will review progress and adjust methods over time so therapy stays practical and relevant to everyday life.
If you are considering remote sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Remote work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it simpler to continue work through relocation or when managing health or scheduling constraints.
