About Shara
Shara Biggs is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee who centers her work on questions of meaning and choice using an existential perspective. She combines clear, practical guidance with a respectful, compassionate manner to help people facing a wide range of life challenges. Shara keeps conversations straightforward and focuses on what matters most to each person seeking help.
Shara helps people manage addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, and stress.
Background and approach
She also supports clients dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, grief, eating and sleeping problems, and workplace concerns. Her approach includes tools from cognitive behavioral work and acceptance and commitment ideas to handle day-to-day symptoms. In sessions she draws on attachment-based and client-centered ways of relating.
That means she pays attention to how past connections shape present problems and creates a calm space for people to be heard. She works with practical skills as well as bigger questions about values and purpose. Shara has four years of professional experience as an LPC in Tennessee.
She adapts conversations and plans to fit each person's situation instead of using the same method for everyone. This includes short-term strategies for coping and longer-term work on patterns that cause repeated struggles. People who reach out can expect a collaborative, down-to-earth style.
She balances problem-solving with deeper reflective work. The goal is clearer direction and more manageable days, guided by what each person wants to change.

Online support
How existential and practical approaches work online
Existential Therapy focuses on questions of meaning, choice, and responsibility. It helps people who feel stuck, unsure about life direction, or overwhelmed by major changes to clarify values and decide what matters most. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches simple skills for noticing thoughts and emotions without being driven by them, then taking committed action toward personal values; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns in close relationships and helps people change unhelpful dynamics and build more supported ways of relating.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will listen to goals, try different techniques, and collaborate on a plan that fits each person. This is a shared process where methods can shift as needs and preferences become clearer.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations for deeper exchanges, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These formats provide flexibility for scheduling, shorter or longer contacts, and options for people with different daily routines.
