Sharon Salichs, LMHC

Sharon Salichs is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who primarily uses cognitive behavioral approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and grief. She speaks Spanish and works with adults facing changes and emotional challenge. Sharon aims for clear, practical steps people can try between sessions.

She draws on client-centered work to create a nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what matters most to them. That approach keeps sessions focused on the individual's needs and priorities. Sharon uses narrative techniques to help clients reframe difficult stories and see different options.

Her background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Professional Counseling from the Interamerican University of Puerto Rico. Over eight years of practice have included individual therapy, crisis work, and supporting people through life transitions. Sharon integrates those experiences into straightforward, goal-oriented sessions.

In session she combines practical exercises with conversational check-ins. People leave with simple tools for managing moods, handling conflict, and improving communication. She also addresses issues like parenting stress, caregiver strain, and compassion fatigue with direct strategies.

Sessions can be conducted in Spanish when preferred. Sharon focuses on helping people tackle immediate problems while building skills for long-term coping and self-care.

Online approaches that match your needs

Sharon uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and teach skills for managing mood and behavior. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day problems because it focuses on concrete strategies you can practice between sessions.

She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize what matters to the person in the room. This approach emphasizes listening, respect, and shaping goals around a client's values. Narrative work helps people put their life events into clearer perspective by examining the stories they tell about themselves and making space for new meanings.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work together. Sharon will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what techniques feel most useful. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits the person's life and what they want to change.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for longer sessions and face-to-face interaction, phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging works well for brief updates or ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and reach help from different locations.
