About Sharon
Dr. Sharon Hansen is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Wisconsin with six years of clinical experience as a mental health therapist and nearly 30 years as a school counselor. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, trauma and abuse, and life changes. Sessions are conducted in English.
Her work focuses on practical, talk-based therapy. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client's priorities, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address unhelpful thinking and behaviors, and Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events continue to affect daily life. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy when people want clear steps and short-term goals.
In sessions she listens for what is most pressing and works with each person to set goals. That can mean practicing skills for panic attacks, planning steps to manage seasonal mood changes, or talking through family of origin issues to see how they affect current relationships. She explains techniques in plain language and checks in about what is working.
Her background in schools gives experience with long-term contact and practical problem solving across ages and settings. She blends that experience with clinical methods to help clients address both immediate symptoms and longer patterns.
People who choose her can expect a direct, organized approach that emphasizes collaboration, clear goals, and concrete strategies. To begin, follow the site process to match and schedule an initial session.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. In practice this means sessions begin with the client's immediate concerns and the therapist helps set priorities together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying patterns of thinking and behavior and practicing new skills between sessions. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic attacks, and depression. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on the effects of past events and uses targeted techniques to reduce their impact on daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. This remains a collaborative process with adjustments made based on what helps the person make progress.
The biography does not specify exact session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions fit into their day more easily because they avoid travel, can schedule shorter check-ins, or choose times that work around work or school. Online work can support steady practice of CBT skills, pacing for trauma-focused work, and regular motivational conversations without requiring in-person travel.
