Shara Biggs

Shara Biggs is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee who centers her work on acceptance, attachment, and practical skills. She focuses on helping people cope with addictions, trauma, depression, anxiety, and challenges with self-esteem. Shara aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where clients can begin making steady changes.

Shara uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, and cognitive-behavioral techniques to guide conversations and plan next steps. Sessions emphasize clear, manageable goals and hands-on tools for everyday stress, motivation, and mood management. She adapts the pace and focus to each person’s needs rather than following a fixed script.

Her practice also addresses relationship struggles, grief, intimacy concerns, and issues around identity and LGBT matters. Parents and caregivers who are feeling overwhelmed can find ways to manage caregiver stress and communication challenges. Shara works with people facing chronic pain, co-occurring conditions, and life changes that disrupt routine and coping.

Clients can expect direct talk about practical strategies such as emotion regulation, behavior changes, and problem-focused plans. She draws from client-centered and dialectical behavior ideas when needed to keep sessions grounded and useful. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Shara brings four years of counseling experience to her Tennessee practice. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and collaboration while tailoring treatment to each person’s situation. To begin, she encourages a simple first step toward clearer goals and better daily functioning.

How Shara's Approaches Work Online and in Practice

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying what matters most and taking small committed steps toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or emotions appear. It can help with depression, anxiety, and motivation by clarifying goals and building actions that match them. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and aims to create more secure ways of relating to others, which can help with trust, intimacy, and communication struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, then practices specific skills to change unhelpful patterns; this approach often helps with anxiety, mood, and behavior change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest options. That choice is collaborative and can shift as progress is made or needs change.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets clients practice skills where they live and manage appointments around work or caregiving responsibilities. Licensed professionals can help you decide which way of meeting will best support your goals.
