About Shara
Shara Biggs is an LPC practicing in Tennessee who focuses on thoughts and everyday habits to help people move forward. She emphasizes respectful, sensitive, and compassionate conversation. Shara aims to meet each person where they are and tailor sessions to individual needs.
She uses practical approaches that address how thoughts, habits, and behaviors get in the way of daily life. Sessions often look at patterns around stress, anxiety, addiction, and mood so people can try new ways of responding. Shara draws on methods that help with emotional regulation, clearer thinking, and building healthier routines.
Over four years as a licensed professional, she has supported people facing grief, relationship difficulty, parenting strain, career stress, and life transitions. She also works with concerns such as ADHD, body image, chronic illness, dissociation, and trauma-related symptoms. The focus is on realistic steps clients can use between sessions.
Her style centers on listening without judgment and creating a plan that fits each person's goals. Conversations are collaborative and grounded in everyday language rather than clinical jargon. Shara encourages gradual change and practices that stack into lasting habits.
If someone wants to explore mood, anxiety, addiction, or how thoughts shape daily choices, she offers a calm, practical setting to talk it through. Prospective clients are invited to begin with a short questionnaire to match with her and then schedule a session.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without fighting them and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when anxiety, depression, or unhelpful habits get in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns and improve mood. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and for adjusting everyday habits. Attachment-Based Therapy centers on patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect current reactions; it can be useful for intimacy, attachment issues, and relationship stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits the client's needs and pace.
Confirm the available session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing a brief check-in during a work break. It can support consistent, weekly practice of skills between sessions and make it simpler to involve real-life routines when trying new habits.
