SHARON ZIGMAN, LMHC

SHARON ZIGMAN is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 25 years of experience. She focuses on practical ways to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and address addictions. She also helps people handle relationship strain, grief, parenting stress, anger, and major life changes.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break unhelpful thinking and behavior cycles. She combines that with client-centered listening to make sure each person feels heard. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed.

Sharon often helps people untangle hurt from the past. She works on attachment and family of origin concerns, forgiveness, and guilt and shame. She also supports those facing isolation, communication problems, control issues, and co-morbid mood disorders.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions focus on concrete tools and small steps that fit into daily life. Progress is paced to each person's needs and goals.

Sharon offers phone, video, live chat, and text-based messaging sessions. She speaks English and practices in Florida as an LMHC. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to schedule a first session that fits the client's timetable.

Online approaches that focus on skills and understanding

Sharon often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is practical and helps with anxiety, depression, and mood problems by teaching clear steps to change thinking and actions.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means she listens closely and makes space for each person's perspective. This approach helps people feel understood and guides decisions about goals and next steps. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are added when emotional regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness are needed; DBT gives specific tools for handling intense feelings and improving communication.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss goals and try methods that fit the person's needs and preferences. Adjustments are made as progress is reviewed so the plan stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people work face to face from home; phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick support, between-session coaching, or when writing feels more natural. These options add flexibility for fitting therapy into work, childcare, or busy schedules.
