01 · Who Sharion works with

02 · In Sharion's own words

What Sharion says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

Do you feel emotionally overwhelmed or mentally exhausted, even when things “should” be okay? Do you find yourself stuck in your thoughts, struggling with anxiety, low mood, or feeling disconnected from yourself? Are you looking for support to better understand your emotions and gain more control over how you respond to stress or life changes?

Or maybe you’re experiencing relationship challenges. Do you and your partner keep having the same arguments without resolution? Has trust, emotional closeness, or intimacy been impacted by conflict, resentment, or infidelity? Are you wanting to improve communication and reconnect without blame, shutdown, or constant tension?

If any of this resonates with you, you’re not alone - and support can help.

My name is Sharion Phelps, and I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I work with individuals and couples who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally drained and are ready for support that feels grounded, supportive, and practical.

My approach focuses on helping clients slow things down, gain clarity, and understand the patterns driving their emotions and relationships. Therapy with me is a space that is supportive, connected, and judgment-free, where we work together to create meaningful and lasting change while creating a supportive space where individuals can explore their experiences, process emotions, and cultivate meaningful personal transformation.

Drawing from evidence-based practices, I help clients address stress, anxiety, relationship complexities, and family dynamics. My work is grounded in understanding systemic influences and supporting clients in developing healthier patterns of connection-both with themselves and others.

03 · How Sharion works

The 4 approaches Sharion lists, in plain English

These are the clinical methods Sharion lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Sharion's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Sharion runs a session.

Cognitive Behavioural TherapyCBT

Structured, present-focused work on the loop between what you think, how you feel and what you then do. Usually means noticing a thought pattern in the room, testing it against evidence, and practising something different between sessions. Among the most heavily researched talking therapies for depression and anxiety.

The Gottman Method

A couples approach built on decades of observational research into what distinguishes relationships that last. Structured and assessment-led: it maps friendship, conflict and shared meaning, then works on the specific mechanics of how the two of you argue.

Narrative Therapy

Treats the story you tell about your life as something that can be examined and retold rather than as the plain facts. Separates the person from the problem - “the anxiety” rather than “your anxiety” - to make room for the parts the current story leaves out.

Solution-Focused Brief TherapySFBT

Starts from where you want to end up rather than from how you got here. Sessions look for the times the problem is already smaller and work out what is different about those, so the number of sessions tends to be short and the work concrete.

04 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Sharion practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Sharion's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Sharion at this point.

2. Naming Sharion specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Sharion is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Sharion.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

05 · Before you commit

2 questions worth asking Sharion

Built from what Sharion actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Sharion's - Sharion has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “You list both Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Narrative Therapy. Which do you lean on with someone like me?”

  Those two point in different directions - one structured and led by the therapist, the other led by you. The answer tells you what the sessions will actually feel like.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

07 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Sharion's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Sharion. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
