About Sharon

Dr. Sharon Belhamel welcomes people seeking help with stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She focuses on practical steps that make day-to-day life more manageable. Her approach aims to help clients clarify goals and build skills for coping and growth.

She is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, and brings about 20 years of clinical experience. She uses straightforward talk, guided exercises, and real-world techniques in sessions. She also integrates attention to relationships, identity, and values when those things matter to a person's wellbeing.

Her work often centers on mood, worry, relationship concerns, career changes, grief, and struggles with addiction or compulsive behaviors. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related issues. Clients with complex life stories such as adoption, caregiving strain, chronic illness, or attachment challenges can find focused help.

Therapy sessions focus on building skills and on understanding patterns that cause repeated setbacks. Techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance-based work are used alongside emotion-focused conversation. She aims to translate therapeutic ideas into small, doable changes for everyday routines.

Dr. Belhamel welcomes people from diverse backgrounds, including those in the LGBT community, and accepts international clients. She practices in Georgia and conducts work in English. To begin, prospective clients are asked to follow the site's Start Therapy process to match with her and schedule a first session.

How online work draws on therapy approaches

Dr. Belhamel uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice uncomfortable thoughts and feelings and then act in line with what matters to them. This approach is useful when worry or low mood gets in the way of living a valued life.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and creating a respectful space where a person leads the conversation. That style helps people feel heard while they sort through decisions and emotional concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then recommend ways of working that fit those needs. This makes therapy a shared process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and making follow-up appointments simpler to schedule. If you are considering online work, confirm the specific session formats available before booking. That helps you pick the option that best fits your routine and communication needs.
