About Shara
Shara Trumbull is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Tennessee with 25 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress, relationship problems, and family of origin issues. Her background also includes work with grief, caregiving stress, addiction, ADHD, and life transitions.
Shara uses an approach informed by attachment-based ideas and client-centered principles. Sessions focus on clear conversation about how early family roles and expectations still affect daily life. She helps people identify repeated patterns, practice different ways of relating, and set small, practical goals for change.
Her style emphasizes direct listening, helping clients name what they feel, and trying new responses between sessions. Conversations may include looking at communication habits, boundaries, and how responsibilities from caregiving or career affect wellbeing. Practical coping strategies are offered alongside reflective work on family patterns.
Shara also supports people dealing with fertility questions, fatherhood issues, divorce and separation, codependency, and intimacy-related struggles. She includes discussion of career pressures and compassion fatigue when relevant. Work can address both current stressors and how old family dynamics shape them.
Sessions begin with an assessment of immediate needs and longer term goals. Shara invites clients to try different ways of working and adjusts the pace based on what helps most. To start, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How attachment and client-centered work translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds and family roles shape current relationships and emotional responses. Online or in person, this approach helps people notice repeated patterns and experiment with new ways of relating to partners, coworkers, or parents.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, reflection, and supporting the client's own goals. In sessions this can mean using the client's language, slowing the pace when needed, and focusing on problems the client names, such as communication habits or coping with caregiving demands.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which methods to try, adapt the pace, and set concrete short-term goals alongside longer-term aims. Clients are invited to discuss preferences and report back on what helps.
The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people join from quieter surroundings, or choose audio-only if video is difficult. Licensed professionals can use these options to help keep work practical and manageable alongside everyday life.
