About Sharon

Dr. Sharon Belhamel is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Georgia with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, career decisions, and addictions. She also supports those coping with grief, trauma, changing life roles, and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem.

Her approach is grounded in practical, down-to-earth conversation. Sessions focus on what feels most pressing and useful right now. Clients can expect clear strategies they can try between meetings, and space to talk through feelings and choices without judgment.

Dr. Belhamel draws on several therapeutic methods to match each person’s needs. She may use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people act in line with their values, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking patterns, or Attachment-Based ideas to address relational wounds. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Client-Centered techniques also inform her work when emotion regulation or safety in the relationship matters.

Over two decades of practice have given her experience with a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, bipolar symptoms, compassion fatigue, and complex grief. She also supports people navigating adoption and foster care issues, aging and caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, and kink-friendly discussions.

Sessions are conducted in English. International clients may be accommodated; confirm options when you match. To start, use the Start Therapy button, complete the short questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How her approaches translate to online work

Dr. Belhamel commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current connection and trust, useful for relationship and intimacy concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked in the past. Together they try methods that fit the person's needs and adjust as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some clients find remote sessions let them join from a quieter spot or take a break during a workday. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment work to the online setting so therapy tasks and skill practice continue between meetings.
