Dr. Sharon Belhamel

Dr. Sharon Belhamel is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who focuses on helping people navigate life transitions and reduce anxiety and depression. She approaches clients with a practical, down-to-earth style. She aims to make sessions feel like a collaborative conversation where goals are clear and manageable steps follow.

With 20 years of experience, Sharon draws on several therapy methods to match what each person needs. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral work to help change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take meaningful action.

Sharon describes her overall method as holistic, which means she looks at the whole person and their life context. In sessions she focuses on everyday problems like career stress, relationship strain, grief, and adjustment to major life changes. She also supports people facing addiction, burnout, ADHD concerns, and intimacy-related issues.

Her practice also attends to less common but important areas such as adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, attachment difficulties, and body image. Sharon brings steady clinical experience to these topics while tailoring interventions to each person’s situation.

How her approaches guide online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify what matters most, and take small actions that fit their values. It’s often useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going, and replacing them with practical skills for mood and day-to-day functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build healthier ways of relating to others.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Sharon will listen to your goals and try different methods to find what fits. The process is collaborative - you and she decide which techniques to use, and adjustments are made as progress continues.

The biography does not specify exact online formats, so confirm available session options before booking. In general, online work with a licensed professional can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - sessions can be scheduled around work, reduce travel time, and allow people to have regular check-ins even when schedules are tight. Different methods lend themselves to different session rhythms: brief skill-focused check-ins suit busy weeks, while longer sessions allow deeper processing of grief or trauma. Ask about session length and format when you sign up so appointments match your needs.
