About Sharon
LMHC in Florida with 16 years of experience, Sharon McKay helps people facing anxiety, depression, addiction, ADHD, trauma, and relationship or family stress. She sees adults and younger clients and uses several therapeutic approaches to address mood, behavior, and coping problems.
Sharon begins by listening to what matters most to the person in front of her. She uses client-centered work so the session focus comes from the client's goals. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and change actions that keep problems going.
Her background includes long experience with substance and alcohol concerns, mood disorders, panic, and trauma-related issues. She also supports people dealing with identity and LGBT questions, adoption and foster care matters, blended family stress, and control or communication problems.
Sessions mix practical skills and reflective conversation. Sharon may use motivational interviewing to clarify why change matters, and mindfulness exercises to reduce immediate distress. She aims to help people build clearer routines, steadier moods, and better ways to manage impulses and strong emotions.
People who prefer a direct, collaborative approach tend to fit well with her style. The practice uses a subscription payment that can be canceled at any time. To begin, select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's concerns and goals. In practice this means sessions begin with the client deciding what matters most and the therapist following that lead to build practical steps forward. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions often include short skill work such as tracking thoughts or practicing behavioral experiments between meetings. Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) helps identify and change patterns in close relationships by naming emotions and trying new interaction patterns; it is useful for people who want clearer ways to handle conflict and attachment stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon treats this as a collaborative process - she will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what a person finds helpful. Clients help shape which techniques are used and how quickly to shift focus.
The original biography does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling. Therapists can assign brief exercises and use screen time for worksheets or mindfulness practice to keep momentum between appointments.
