More about Sharon
- 10 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW, CSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and has been in the field of social work for over 10 years. In my career, I have worked with families and children as an advocate, case manager, and therapist.
I know that therapy can be a scary step but I am here to help in your journey. I am here to help no matter where you are in the therapeutic process - whether this is your first time or you've seen others in the past. We will work on this journey together and move forward at your pace. Therapy can bring out all sorts of feelings, but we will get through them as they arise. My goal is to provide a safe and open environment for you to feel free to address anything that is on your mind. I strive to be nonjudgmental, caring, and compassionate. I believe the therapeutic relationship requires trust on both your end and mine.
I look forward to working with you!!

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 allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Sharon provides a great mix of showing empathy and also coaching you toward improvement. I'm happy to have her help and I know my wellbeing is safe in her hands.
Sharon is a great therapist. She pushes you when you need to be pushed, offers alternative points of view, and is very supportive and caring. Couldn’t recommend anyone better.
Sharon Bowen is the best
Sharon is the best therapist I ever had. She always accommodated my video scheduling needs and responds in a timely manner. She deserves a raise for dealing with me.
Sharon really listens and understands me. She gets the deeper parts of me, the connections between the difficulties in my life when I don't see them. I feel so seen, heard, and understood by her.
She's amazing
Sharon is fantastic. Remembers things from previous sessions and we get along like old friends. Makes me feel comfortable and heard. Highly recommend!!!
Sharon has been amazing to work with. Great to talk with and will call you out on your stuff when needed. Great listener who comes up with great ways to help work though any issues.

I have had a lot of therapists. Sharon is one of the best I've ever worked with. I feel like she really listens to me and understands how I operate, and is able to help me through situations as a result. She also builds me up. I love working with her!
A pleasant individual to talk to! I always feel like a weight has been lifted off of me after a session. I know she cares and provides a superb service! Thank you for your compassion and expertise.
So far working with Sharon has been great. This is my first time going to a therapist so I am still feeling things out but she listens and offers great advice and gives me things to think about in a way I haven't before and it's widened my perspective quite a bit on my own life.
Sharon is my superhero. She has made me grow emotionally and physically within the past few months I’ve known her. Give her a raise!!
She is amazing to work with! Always around and available to listen to. I am hoping to continue using her expertise outside of better help!
