Sharon McKay

Sharon McKay is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with 16 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, mood challenges, relationship issues, and career concerns. Sharon brings a steady, practical approach to sessions and aims to create a respectful space for people to talk about what matters most to them.

Her background includes long-term work with people facing substance and alcohol problems, depression, ADHD, trauma, and LGBTQ+ concerns. She draws on a mix of approaches so the work fits each person's situation rather than forcing one method on everyone. Sessions often include clear steps and tools people can use between meetings.

Sharon describes her style as client-centered and collaborative. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing alongside emotionally-focused and mindfulness-based ideas. The goal is to help people name patterns, make achievable changes, and build on personal strengths.

She also addresses more specific issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, blended family challenges, codependency, control and communication problems, and eating or impulse concerns. Sharon’s work pays attention to both immediate coping skills and longer-term direction.

Parents and professionals looking for support around career changes, coping with life transitions, or managing mood disorders will find an approach that balances empathy with practical strategies.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experience. The therapist listens closely and follows the person's pace, helping them feel heard and understood while deciding what to address next. This approach supports issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions often include clear steps, short exercises, and homework to try between meetings, which is useful for anxiety, panic, mood disorders, and ADHD-related strategies.

Emotionally-focused ideas help people notice and name feelings in the moment and work toward different ways of connecting or responding in relationships. This can help with communication problems, jealousy, and coping after loss or abandonment.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities. That choice can shift over time as progress is made.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, or use a shorter check-in when needed, while keeping the focus on practical skills and real-life changes.
