Sharon Salichs, LMHC

Sharon Salichs is a Florida-based Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who offers therapy in English and Spanish. She brings a calm, down-to-earth style to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and trauma and abuse. Sharon emphasizes practical, short-term strategies alongside deeper personal work. Sharon completed a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Professional Counseling from the Interamerican University of Puerto Rico. Over eight years in the field, she has provided individual care and crisis support. That experience informs her steady, clear approach when people are facing big life changes or intense emotions. In sessions she uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help spot unhelpful thoughts and build new coping habits. Narrative Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy are used when reframing life stories or setting concrete, achievable goals is helpful. Sharon often helps people dealing with caregiver stress, parenting strain, communication breakdowns, and issues like guilt, shame, impulsivity, and isolation. She also works with mood-related concerns such as bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Her approach blends practical tools with space to process feelings. People who prefer Spanish-speaking care can work with her in that language. To begin, she asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule based on availability.

Practical therapy approaches for online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and supports them in identifying their own goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches clear techniques to reduce anxiety, depression, or unhelpful patterns. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe difficult experiences and rewrite parts of their personal story to reduce shame and build resilience.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sharon will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. She often combines approaches so sessions can be both practical and emotionally focused, and she checks in regularly to adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing appointments around work, school, or caregiving. Some formats can also be shorter for quick check-ins or rely less on video if bandwidth is limited. Discussing preferences up front helps shape how therapy will fit into day-to-day routines.
