About Sharon

Dr. Sharon Belhamel is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and major life changes. She draws on two decades of clinical experience to offer steady support when life feels overwhelming. Her approach is warm and straightforward, aimed at practical steps people can use day to day.

She uses a holistic view that blends talk therapy with skills practice. Sessions emphasize clear goals, coping tools, and ways to reduce intense emotions. Clients working through grief, trauma, addictions, or identity questions find space to talk and to try new ways of handling problems.

Dr. Belhamel regularly draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Attachment-Based ideas. That mix helps people notice unhelpful patterns, build more flexible thinking, and strengthen important relationships. She also uses elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and client-centered work when helpful.

Over 20 years she has supported people with issues such as depression, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and caregiver strain. She also addresses specific areas like body image, intimacy-related issues, and challenges tied to adoption, aging, or chronic illness. Her background gives her a wide view of how different problems intersect.

She practices in Georgia and works with people in English. International clients are accepted. To start, prospective clients use the platform Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dr. Belhamel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and build meaningful actions. CBT focuses on spotting thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and replacing them with practical strategies that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them, accept difficult emotions, and take steps toward a valued life even when feelings are hard.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to help people understand how past relationships shape current reactions and to develop more secure ways of relating. Together these approaches can target anxiety, relationship difficulties, coping with life changes, and grief in a way that matches the client's goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and Dr. Belhamel treats it as a team effort. She will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what actually helps the client move forward.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the profile does not list specific formats. Ask about the available online options so you can choose what fits your routine. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time so therapy works around work, caregiving, or health demands.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
