Sharon Blanchard, LPC

Sharon Blanchard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who has provided counseling since 1995. As an LPC - a state credential for professional counselors - she combines years of K-12 school counseling experience with graduate-level teaching and extensive individual work to support clients across the lifespan.

Her background includes supporting parents facing the demands of raising challenging children and teens, guiding young adults as they navigate early career and relationship transitions, and working with middle-age adults making significant life decisions. She has substantial experience addressing depression, anxiety, interpersonal relationship concerns, parenting challenges, career questions, and the search for greater self-understanding. Sharon also focuses on areas such as stress, anger, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and coping with life changes.

Sharon approaches therapy from a respectful, strengths-oriented stance, operating from client-centered principles and drawing on evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness therapy, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, and solution-focused techniques. She believes that adults and children generally do the best they can with what they know, and emphasizes careful listening to help clients sort through their experiences and arrive at meaningful new perspectives. As someone who has benefitted from counseling personally, she brings both professional skill and personal appreciation for the therapeutic process. Sharon is a Christian and is willing to explore faith-related influences to the degree each person prefers, supporting individuals as they work toward a refreshed sense of self and renewed direction.
