About Sharonda
Sharonda Patrick is a licensed clinical mental health counselor practicing in North Carolina. She brings 17 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and struggles with self-esteem. Parents seeking practical guidance around parenting concerns will find direct, no-nonsense support.
She affirms clients as experts in their own lives and focuses on their strengths. Her style is straightforward and goal-oriented. She listens to what matters most and helps set clear, achievable steps.
Background and approach
Sessions often include talking through concrete strategies and small behavior changes that build momentum over time. Sharonda uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide work in session. That means identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing new ways of responding, and setting brief, measurable goals.
She adapts those tools to everyday parenting stress, grief, intimacy issues, or career concerns. She also supports people dealing with trauma, addiction concerns, mood disorders, postpartum shifts, and compassion fatigue. When issues feel overwhelming, she helps break them into manageable pieces to reduce pressure and create a plan people can follow.
Sharonda aims for a collaborative relationship. She helps clients notice strengths, try small changes, and track progress. Taking the first step to ask for support is acknowledged and used as the foundation for moving forward.

How her approaches translate to online care
Sharonda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in ways that work well over video or messaging. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new, realistic ways of responding to stress or mood problems. It can help with anxiety, depression, and struggles with self-esteem by breaking tasks into small, testable steps. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes practical, short-term goals and what already works for someone. Sessions often focus on clear, concrete actions a person can try between meetings to see quick changes in parenting routines, communication, or daily coping. Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and life demands, and then suggest which techniques to try first. That plan can change over time based on what proves helpful. Online formats offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for short questions, coaching-style check-ins, or when someone wants written reflections to revisit later. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or other daily responsibilities.Questions people ask about Sharonda
