About Shara

Shara Biggs is an LPC practicing in Tennessee. She offers a respectful, compassionate approach and focuses on helping people manage addictions, trauma, depression, anxiety, and self-esteem concerns.

She draws on several therapy styles to meet individual needs. Sessions emphasize clear, practical steps and steady emotional support. She works with people facing grief, career stress, parenting strains, bipolar challenges, and issues around intimacy and relationships.

Shara uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice values and take meaningful action. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and change patterns. Client-centered principles shape sessions so conversations follow what matters most to the person in the room.

Her background includes four years of professional experience as a licensed professional counselor. That experience has included work with compassion fatigue, chronic illness and pain, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, and coping with life changes, including coping with natural or human-caused disaster.

Shara aims to tailor the dialogue and plan to each client. She invites straightforward conversation about goals, daily struggles, and realistic steps forward. The focus is on practical tools, steady support, and helping each person build toward a more manageable life.

How these approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small, meaningful actions toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with depression, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. It often helps with anxiety, mood concerns, and sleep or eating problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and can help people improve connection, trust, and emotional boundaries.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy itself. The therapist will work collaboratively to try methods that fit the client's goals and daily life. That may mean trying a few techniques, tracking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.

Session format details were not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can guide clients in using the same therapeutic tools online as they would in person, helping people practice skills between sessions and apply them to everyday situations.
