Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

She’s outstanding
Sharon has helped me through some difficult situations and emotions. I am very grateful for Sharon.
Sharon is the sweetest! My absolute best experiences with therapy were with her. I haven’t been able to continue with counseling due to finances, but if you have the opportunity to work with her, don’t hesitate. She’ll pray with you, encourage you, make you laugh, and laugh at your jokes. I enjoyed how she always came across as a Sister in Christ and shared her own backstory as well. It was such a blessing and we made so much progress in the time I worked with Sharon.
She was caring and real. I felt more like I was talking with a family member vs. a counselor.
Love her! She has so much patience!
Attentive and compassionate. Used my own strengths/weaknesses within my therapy sessions to help me uncover things for myself. A great human in this realm!
She is great! Has helped me understand what triggers my depression and anxiety.
Sharon is wonderful, if you are willing to put in the effort you will get the biggest reward. She uses different tools to help you find growth and the more examples we can provide the better she will be able to understand your situation and help you grow. She can be no nonsense if needed, and will hold you accountable. Do your homework!
I have been with Sharon for six months. She has helped me dig deep into issues in my life and I have been able to find healing.
Although I’ve only seen her twice so far she has shown to be relatable and compassionate. She gives me hope of getting better and building a quality future
I've only had 2 sessions with Ms.Calhoun but I appreciate all of them. I'm getting a better understanding of my problems and getting a handle on them.

Ms. Sharon is amazing ❣️
Sharon is very helpful in helping you process things that you may not be able in any other setting. She helps you to verbalize what is difficult to put into words. Sharon gives you a confidence that you can take back control over your thoughts and emotions.
Sharon is very professional, knowledgeable, and empathetic. I feel safe and comfortable during my time with her. I believe that she is committed to helping me and even goes above and beyond. I highly recommend her.
Sharon is a great counselor. She was able to help me identify my problems and helped me come up with battle plans to win over them.
I appreciate Sharon’s wisdom and encouragement. She has been a help during a very stressful time.
We just started but Sharon is very kind and wise and Im excited to continue working with her.
Sharon really care about you as a person. She takes the time to truly listen to you. She truly wants you to be a whole person.
Exactly the help I need! Helped me find a way to "live my truth," and I now have the tools to prevent me from emotionally spiraling.
Sharon is very attentive at targeting the root of an issue and giving you a different perspective to look at things that you may not have thought to look at them before. She’s very down to earth and sweet has very good expertise. I would highly recommend picking her!
Sharon is a phenomenal counselor. She is very wise and highly insightful about my issues, and is not only a great listener but provides me with very helpful actionable ideas to improve what I am working on. She asks the right questions to help me understand myself and grow. I highly recommend working with Sharon!
Working with Sharon has been the 2020 blessing that I've needed, in order to begin healing and establishing the foundation to being the best me [for me]!! Sharon's listening ear and guidance have been an asset for me!! Our counseling sessions and the homework assignments have pushed me out of my comfort zone and they are making me properly address areas in my life that need work!! I definitely recommend Sharon as a counselor and fellow sister in Christ!!
Sharon has been excellent so far. She does not sugar coat a thing, and is focused on understanding the bigger picture to make sure we move forward with the right steps
She’s a great listener and you can tell she really comprehends the situation
Sharon has been extremely helpful in helping me identify my anxieties and stressors and find the tools to manage them. She is personal, interactive, insightful, and open during our sessions. Her experience and expertise are clear in our conversations and I find myself looking forward to our sessions every week. She is encouraging and supportive but also firm when needed - I have gained more from our sessions than with any other therapist I have seen.
I was in a really dark place before I contacted Sharon. I hated my life to put it simply. She helped encourage me to see a psychiatrist and get the help I need. I got on medication and she taught me ways to help cope with stress, depression, and anxiety. Its not all sunshine and rainbows now, it won't be for you either more than likely, because no matter what life will always throw stress your way, but she taught me how to cope with it and not let it consume me. And im not depressed anymore, and I dont hate my life anymore, and I finally am starting to believe everything is going to be okay for me.
She is a very good listener and can pick up how a person is right away. She has helped me in short amount of time to be a better person already
Sharon is a very helpful individual. Kind and personal. Easy to talk to with everything. She has helped me alot in the few weeks I've been seeing her. I highly recommend her.
She’s great!!
I was a little hesitant about Ms. Calhoun initially and me attending counseling altogether. Despite my reservations I’m glad I have her and counseling the opportunity to help me. We’ve only had 2 sessions and a big breakthrough has occurred. I’m thankful for her expertise but more importantly her empathy and compassion. I felt very comfortable and was able to be transparent. I believe she is a blessing to my life and I’m so thankful. She’s God fearing and very easy to talk to. I’m so glad I’m so fortunate.
Sharon has been wonderful. I have really been struggling with a decision to get a divorce from my husband, who has an alcohol problem. She has been so knowledgable and supportive in helping me to decide for myself what is best. I would recommend Sharon to anyone as I feel she has been pivotal in helping me through one of the most difficult situations of my life.
