Online Counseling Services for Adults, Children, or Adolescents

In private practice as a mental health counselor (counseling psychologist), my approach to psychotherapy is integrative. This means I seek to support each client with psychotherapeutic approaches that most meet the individual needs of the client. Whether cognitive behavioral therapy, existential therapy, systemic therapy, person-centered therapy, or another approach, Lawrence is committed to helping each client discover ways toward resilient well-being. Essentially, this means the client will discover meaning, purpose, and healing through the process of therapy by what the client brings to the “here and now” of each therapy session. I offer English counseling services for adults, adolescents, or children.

Sharrett Counseling Provides:

  • Individual mental health counseling for adults, children, or adolescents
  • Individual leadership coaching for adults, children, or adolescents
  • Small group social and emotional leadership program for youth (ages 10-18)

One Reason to Consider Counseling

One of the biggest challenges for people is not a lack of knowledge, commitment, vision or other common qualities; it’s a lack of emotional intelligence. In particular, it’s an inability to understand how one’s past or present unprocessed emotional experiences can influence one’s personal growth and interpersonal relationships. This can unintentionally contribute to pain and hurt for the people we know or serve. It is something that people often forget to consider, but it’s a blind spot that can change as people start noticing.

Colloquy Communities: If you are a person who values information about mental health but you are not quite sure you trust the process of one-on-one counseling, maybe an informal, small group setting would interest you more. Colloquy Communities is an international non-profit organization based out of the United States. They focus on connecting expats and locals through live online workshops for mental health and leadership. A team of qualified psychologists and educators give presentations on various topics around mental health, and then participants can ask questions and enjoy the opportunity to learn and process in safe, small groups committed to confidentiality for its participants.

The CECC is a mental health counseling and leadership hub for Christian leaders, cross-cultural workers, people of faith, or people wounded by the church or religion. A team of professional mental health counselors and leadership coaches are available to confidentially support anyone who desires Christian counseling services.
