LPC, 6 years of experience
Hi, I’m Manisha Sharma, a licensed therapist specializing in anxiety, depression, and building effective coping skills. I combine strength-based approaches with cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you break free from overwhelming thoughts, manage daily stressors, and tap into your inner resilience. My goal is to guide you toward practical strategies, renewed confidence, and lasting emotional well-being—so you can navigate life’s challenges with greater ease and hope.
In your first session, we’ll get to know you, discuss your concerns, and explore your goals for therapy. You’ll have the chance to ask questions, share your story, and begin building practical strategies tailored to your needs—all in a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space
What stands out about my therapeutic approach is my focus on listening deeply and creating a non-judgmental space where clients feel truly heard and validated. I combine this with strength-based and cognitive-behavioral strategies to help clients identify and build on their inner resources while addressing challenges like anxiety, depression, and stress. By integrating attentive listening with practical tools, clients often experience increased self-awareness, confidence, and effective coping skills, leaving therapy feeling empowered and equipped to navigate life’s challenges.
I am best positioned to work with individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, or feeling overwhelmed by life’s stressors, and who are motivated to make meaningful changes in their lives. My clients often want to develop practical coping skills, shift unhelpful thought patterns, and build confidence and resilience. I work particularly well with people who are open to exploring their strengths, reflecting on their mindset, and taking an active role in creating positive change in their personal and professional lives. Together, we focus on empowering you to feel more in control, present, and capable of navigating life’s challenges with hope and clarity.

My experience with strength-based psychotherapy has shown me how powerful it is to shift the focus from what feels broken to what is already strong within a person. In my work, I’ve seen that even during times of trauma, stress, or transition, clients carry resilience, values, and coping strategies that can be drawn upon for healing. In practice, I use a collaborative approach where we identify the skills, resources, and past successes that have helped you through challenges. Together, we build on those strengths to create practical strategies for growth and resilience. While we address difficulties honestly, I help you reframe them in a way that highlights your capacity to overcome. This method not only reduces feelings of helplessness but also empowers clients to feel more confident, hopeful, and capable of lasting change.
