About Shara

Shara Biggs is an LPC in Tennessee who uses practical, person-focused therapy to help people facing trauma, addiction, mood struggles, and life transitions. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in conversations. Shara aims to tailor sessions to each person's needs and goals. Shara draws on approaches that focus on thoughts, behavior, and values to help clients find ways forward. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build more useful habits. She also works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to clarify values and take small steps toward what matters. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual. Shara listens first, then helps people set short-term goals and practical strategies. She offers skills for managing anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep or eating concerns, and supports people dealing with grief, relationship strain, or caregiver stress. For those coping with trauma or past abuse, Shara focuses on grounding and coping skills before moving into deeper work. People managing addictions or bipolar mood challenges receive attention to symptom management and relapse prevention strategies when relevant. With four years as an LPC, Shara brings focused clinical experience in Tennessee. She encourages taking small, manageable steps and will work alongside clients as they practice new ways of coping and relating.

How these approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify what matters most, and take small actions toward those values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going, which often helps with mood, sleep, and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and can help with intimacy, attachment issues, and communication problems.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest techniques or combinations that fit your needs. You can try an approach and adjust it over time based on what feels helpful.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, avoid travel, and use shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow work on skills using talking, worksheets, or behavior experiments between meetings to reinforce progress.
