Hi, I am Sharon Marren, LCSW-C. I offer compassionate virtual psychotherapy services for adults navigating anxiety, trauma, and life transitions.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker-Certified (LCSW-C) with over 7 years of experience as a therapist, and over 10 years working in the field across various settings of care. I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) from University of Maryland and my Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) from Hood College.
My approach to therapy is warm, personable, collaborative, and person-centered. I believe therapy should provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel genuinely seen and understood.
I use a strengths-based and trauma-informed lens while tailoring treatment to each client’s individual needs and goals. My clinical training includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma Focused CBT (TF-CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Structural Family Therapy, Family Systems, and Solution-Focused Therapy. I integrate these modalities flexibly to support insight, emotional growth, coping skills, and lasting change.
I have experience supporting younger adults, older adults, LGBTQ+ individuals, trauma survivors, neurodivergent clients, BIPOC communities, and individuals navigating chronic illness or major life changes. I work best with clients who are ready and committed to investing in themselves and the therapeutic process.
While my practice is secular, I fully support clients who wish to incorporate faith or spirituality into their therapy experience.
I currently offer virtual therapy services only, allowing clients to access support from the comfort and privacy of their own environment.
I work with adults of all ages who are seeking meaningful change, deeper self-understanding, and healthier ways of navigating life’s challenges. My specialties include anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, relationship concerns, wellness goals, chronic illness adjustment, and life transitions.
I focus on helping individuals recognize and build upon their existing strengths while developing tools to navigate challenges with greater confidence and resilience. During our first session, you'll find will primarily being focused on just getting to know you and making you feel comfortable!
