Sharon Nielsen, LPCC

Sharon Nielsen is an Ohio-based therapist who focuses on thoughts and everyday habits that shape how people feel and act. She is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - with ten years of experience helping people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and low self-esteem. Sharon aims to create an approachable space where practical steps matter as much as listening.

She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma and recovery. Sessions often include talking through difficult memories, noticing unhelpful thought patterns, and testing small behavior changes that can ease daily distress. Sharon also helps people manage anger, impulsivity, and feelings of emptiness through steady, structured work.

Many clients seek help with relationship-related concerns such as attachment issues, abandonment, communication problems, codependency, and divorce or separation. She also supports people dealing with family problems, domestic violence impacts, and the emotional fallout of major life changes.

Sharon can help people wrestling with guilt, shame, forgiveness, and questions of purpose or self-worth. She attends to co-morbidity and mood issues, including Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD), by breaking challenges into manageable steps and tracking small gains over time.

Sessions are conducted in English in Ohio. For those considering therapy, she asks people to consider their goals and readiness for steady work on thoughts, habits, and daily routines. Prospective clients choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How evidence-based approaches guide online work

Sharon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on how thoughts and everyday habits affect mood and behavior. Cognitive-style work helps people identify patterns of thinking that keep anxiety and depression active, then practice new, more helpful ways of thinking to reduce distress. Trauma-focused strategies help people process difficult events safely and build skills to manage strong emotions and triggers.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to decide which techniques match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That means trying out methods, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.

Practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Many people appreciate being able to join sessions without travel and to use shorter check-ins when needed. Because the biography does not specify which formats Sharon offers, confirm current session options before booking so you can choose what fits your routine.
