Are you feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in patterns that are keeping you from enjoying your life? Perhaps anxiety is causing constant worry, depression has affected your motivation, or a painful experience or major life transition has left you feeling disconnected from yourself. You do not have to navigate these challenges alone. I’m Sharon Salichs, a bilingual Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over nine years of experience helping adolescents and adults manage anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and life transitions. My therapeutic style is warm, compassionate, and collaborative, while also being practical and goal-oriented. I integrate evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, person-centered therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques, based on your individual needs. Together, we will work to understand the patterns affecting your emotional well-being, strengthen your coping skills, and help you feel more confident and in control of your life. I provide virtual therapy throughout Florida in both English and Spanish. If you are ready to feel heard, gain clarity, and begin creating meaningful change, I would be honored to support you.
During the first session, we will take time to get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. You will have the opportunity to share your concerns, current challenges, personal history, and goals for treatment in a safe, supportive, and judgment-free environment. I understand that starting therapy can feel uncomfortable or overwhelming at first, so we will move at a pace that feels comfortable for you. My goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and supported while we begin identifying strategies to help improve your emotional well-being. Together, we will explore your needs, discuss possible treatment approaches, and create goals tailored to your situation. You do not need to have everything figured out before starting therapy — the first session is simply the beginning of the process.
I bring warmth, and compassion to each session. I listen carefully and create a judgment-free environment where clients can feel comfortable expressing themselves openly. My approach is collaborative, practical, and tailored to each client’s unique needs. In addition to helping clients gain insight into their emotions and behavioral patterns, I provide practical tools they can apply in their daily lives. As a bilingual and culturally responsive therapist, I also understand the importance of honoring each client’s language, values, background, and personal experiences throughout the therapeutic process.
I work with a diverse range of clients, including individuals navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, and emotional challenges. While I support clients from various backgrounds, I have particular experience working with high-functioning individuals who feel overwhelmed, experience overthinking, or struggle with self-imposed pressure. Many of my clients are used to managing multiple responsibilities and may find it difficult to slow down, set boundaries, or prioritize their own well-being. I also work with clients experiencing relationship concerns, family stress, and adjustment-related difficulties. My approach focuses on helping clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, while developing practical tools to improve emotional regulation, reduce anxiety, and build a more balanced and sustainable lifestyle. I welcome clients who are open to self-reflection and motivated to make meaningful changes, regardless of where they are in their personal journey.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, is a treatment method that focuses on identifying and challenging unhelpful thoughts and behaviors while promoting healthier thinking patterns and behaviors. It’s based on the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected, and that changing one can lead to changes in the others. I have extensive experience utilizing CBT in various therapeutic contexts, with children, adolescents, and adults. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, ensuring that the interventions are both effective and appropriate for the client’s developmental stage.
Person-Centered Therapy is an approach that emphasizes the importance of creating a supportive and non-judgmental environment in which clients feel safe to explore their thoughts and feelings. I have substantial experience utilizing Person-Centered Therapy, particularly in settings where building a strong therapeutic alliance is crucial for the client’s progress. This approach is particularly effective with clients who may have experienced trauma, self-esteem issues, or those who need to feel heard and validated.
