About Sharon
Dr. Sharon Belhamel is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and life changes. She has 20 years of experience and aims to create a calm, practical space where people can talk through pressing concerns and start making small, workable changes.
Her approach blends everyday strategies with attention to thoughts and habits. She uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioral ideas and acceptance-based work to help people notice unhelpful patterns. Sessions tend to focus on concrete steps clients can try between meetings and on building skills for coping with anger, grief, addiction, or career stress.
Dr. Belhamel also draws on attachment-based and client-centered practices to strengthen how people relate to themselves and others. That often means looking at relationship patterns, intimacy issues, and challenges like abandonment or codependency. Over time she helps clients build clearer boundaries and steadier emotional responses.
She works with a broad range of concerns including bipolar, ADHD, trauma and abuse, caregiving stress, body image, and issues related to sexuality and kink. Many people find this mix of practical habit work and relationship-focused reflection useful when they need faster, usable change.

How her approaches shape online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is often used to reduce avoidance and to support coping with anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going and replacing them with more helpful habits for things like stress, mood, and addiction. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect feelings of safety and closeness and can guide work on intimacy and codependency.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaborative process helps decide whether ACT, CBT, attachment-based work, or a mix of methods will be used in sessions.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and let people check in from different places. They can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that work around work and caregiving schedules. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to suit an online rhythm so progress continues between meetings.
