Shara Biggs

Shara Biggs is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Tennessee who focuses on helping people manage addiction, trauma, depression, anxiety, and self-esteem concerns. She talks with clients in a straightforward, respectful way and adapts her approach to each person. Shara emphasizes compassion and practical steps rather than jargon. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make that step easier to take.

Shara uses several evidence-informed approaches to guide treatment, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy. She blends these methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns, practice new skills, and reconnect with values that matter. Sessions are conversational and goal-directed, with time spent on skill practice and real-life application.

Her background includes work with a wide range of concerns such as relationship strain, grief, eating and sleep problems, parenting stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Shara also supports people dealing with chronic health issues, dissociation, and the aftermath of divorce or separation. She attends to both mood symptoms and practical daily challenges.

Shara highlights tailoring a plan to each person’s needs. That can mean short-term coaching for a goal or longer work on trauma or addiction patterns. She aims for clear steps, steady progress, and respect for each person’s story. If you want a direct, compassionate counselor in Tennessee, she may be a fit.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then move toward actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and homework. It often helps with depression, anxiety, and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotions and supports building healthier ways of relating.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals, try different techniques, and adjust based on what helps. This is a collaborative process where feedback guides the path forward rather than a single pre-set method.

Please confirm the session formats offered before booking, as specific online or in-person options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people practice skills in the settings where they live and work, which helps carry changes into daily life.
