Sharon Carroll, LPC, LPCC

Sharon Carroll meets people where they are when life has not turned out as they imagined. She understands the sense of diminished possibility - the fading of a once bold - do anything and be anyone - outlook - and the disappointment when a relationship fails to bring the enrichment or completion that was expected. Many clients arrive feeling that parts of themselves have gone missing and longing to be seen, heard, understood, and valued.

Over her career, Sharon has supported individuals and couples in reimagining their lives and building more authentic, meaningful futures. She offers a collaborative, nonjudgmental space for clients to share their stories, clarify goals for counseling, and work through hurts while identifying strengths that can sustain them moving forward. Her approach is flexible and tailored - she adapts methods to fit what resonates with each person and what will best advance their unique objectives.

Sharon works with both men and women, with clients of varied ages, sexual orientations, and religious backgrounds. She has led groups focused on grief, careers in transition, and The Daring Way - a program based on the work of Brené Brown that explores wholehearted living, vulnerability, and shame resilience. Her deepest professional satisfaction comes from helping clients navigate relationship difficulties, experience grief and loss, manage life transitions, and develop the resilience needed for future challenges.

Her formal training includes an MA in Psychology from Houston Christian University, an MBA from Rice University, and a BS in Business Administration from the University of Southern California. She is also a Certified Life Coach. Sharon holds professional counseling credentials - Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) - and integrates approaches such as attachment-based therapy, client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, emotionally focused therapy, the Gottman Method, mindfulness therapy, and solution-focused therapy to meet the needs of those she serves.
