About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Sharon has helped me through some difficult situations and emotions. I am very grateful for Sharon.

Reviewed December 2022

Sharon is the sweetest! My absolute best experiences with therapy were with her. I haven’t been able to continue with counseling due to finances, but if you have the opportunity to work with her, don’t hesitate. She’ll pray with you, encourage you, make you laugh, and laugh at your jokes. I enjoyed how she always came across as a Sister in Christ and shared her own backstory as well. It was such a blessing and we made so much progress in the time I worked with Sharon.

I was in a really dark place before I contacted Sharon. I hated my life to put it simply. She helped encourage me to see a psychiatrist and get the help I need. I got on medication and she taught me ways to help cope with stress, depression, and anxiety. Its not all sunshine and rainbows now, it won't be for you either more than likely, because no matter what life will always throw stress your way, but she taught me how to cope with it and not let it consume me. And im not depressed anymore, and I dont hate my life anymore, and I finally am starting to believe everything is going to be okay for me.

I was a little hesitant about Ms. Calhoun initially and me attending counseling altogether. Despite my reservations I’m glad I have her and counseling the opportunity to help me. We’ve only had 2 sessions and a big breakthrough has occurred. I’m thankful for her expertise but more importantly her empathy and compassion. I felt very comfortable and was able to be transparent. I believe she is a blessing to my life and I’m so thankful. She’s God fearing and very easy to talk to. I’m so glad I’m so fortunate.
