Daniel Sharer LMFT

During our first session, I will be trying to get to know you and ask questions about the issues that bring you to therapy. My goal is to get information, provide some immediate hope that things can get better or help you accept the situation you are in, embrace it, and establish some therapeutic goals.

My approach to therapy is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT is an evidence-based approach that helps participants examine how their thoughts impact their feelings and behaviors. I encourage clients to use mindfulness activities to exam their thoughts in order to find solutions that will work for them. When working with couples, I prefer the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help couples connect on an emotional level. My experience has been that couples often get distracted from each other through responsibilities that exist outside of the couple’s relationship such as work, children, friendships, and family. When couples decide they need therapy to make repairs to their relationship, my goal is the help them reconnect emotionally.
