Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with approximately 15 years experience. My primary focus has been working with children, teens, adults and families. I seek to establish a relationship with a client through a respectful, caring approach and help them identify their strengths and needs to achieve their goals. I also enjoy working with young adults making the transition from adolescence to adulthood and have worked with clients who are struggling with life changes, grief and loss. I begin with a client centered approach but also utilize behavioral & cognitive therapy and mindfulness activities to help manage stress, anxiety and anger. I have also worked with numerous families who have children diagnosed with ADHD, behavioral problems, anger and anxiety.

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 is awesome!!! I’m comfortable opening up to her about my issues and she has been very helpful.
Sharon Koltis is extremely helpful. Within the first session, she understood what my concerns were and began to equip me with tools to deal with my situation. She is kind, patient, non-judgmental and incredibly understanding.
I learned a lot about myself and how to cope with some of my struggles in just the first couple of months with Sharon!
I feel extremely comfortable talking to her and am confident im her expertise!
Sharon is amazing. I originally signed up to get help with OCD but after a session with Sharon I was pointed into a different direction. After getting assessed I was able to get treated for ADD. I feel 100% like myself again, happy and positive. I highly recommend Sharon to anyone just starting therapy or looking for help with being diagnosed.
Sharon is kind, compassionate, patient, and thoughtful. I am immensely grateful for her attention and insight, and I highly recommend her.
Sharon is warm and kind and a very good listener. She has good advice and a variety of resources to help you heal.
Sharon was wonderful at listening and working with me and making me feel both comfortable and empowered with the tools I needed.
Sharon is amazing. I've been through many counselors in my adult life and she is one of the best I've ever had. Kind, Patient, meets me where I am. Not afraid to call me out on my BS. Understands my struggles and guides me to my own conclusions. When I've felt like I was completely breaking she was there for me and gave me the extra support I needed. I've made more progress with myself in the last months working with her than I have on my own or with other counselors. 100/10 would highly recommend
She listened to me. She was is very uplifting and that's what I need especially at this time in my life.
I just needed to talk to someone about everything going on with me as well as my past. I just wanted her to listen, and without me having to say anything she knew that. To me that is prime example of what a great counselor is. When I do need feed back she answers honestly and with compassion. I would recommended Sharon to everyone.
She is great!
Sharon has been wonderful to talk with. She shared worksheets, books, and wisdom.
Sharon is great to work with. She meets me where I'm at and offers guidance that is spot on, I've really enjoyed working with her!
