About
I believe therapy works best as a partnership wherein we work together to discover your strengths and create meaningful, lasting change.
I'm Sharon, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 25 years of experience helping adults navigate life's challenges. I have worked in various behavioral health settings, providing compassionate, evidence-based care to individuals facing anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, and relationship concerns. I enjoy working with adults and older teens who may feel overwhelmed or stuck. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive environment where clients feel seen, heard, and accepted while we work together to identify strengths, overcome obstacles, and create lasting change.
I provide a compassionate, collaborative approach that helps clients gain insight, build practical coping skills, and create meaningful change. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and substance abuse. Clients can expect a safe, nonjudgmental space where they feel heard and supported.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel difficult, but you don't have to face life's challenges alone. Whatever you are experiencing, you'll be met with compassion, respect, and support. If you are ready to begin your journey toward healing and growth, I invite you to schedule an appointment.

As a professional woman, mother and grandmother, I have navigated many life circumstances and challenges which contribute to the well rounded education inherent in a mental health career.
I am a LCSW licensed in 1989. Much of my career has been spent with military members and their families affording me with knowledge and insight into the complexities of military service. I have worked extensively with depression, anxiety, trauma, and grief. I understand the burdens these painful circumstances bring. I believe in meeting clients where they are with compassion and empathy, and I believe in the indomitable human spirit.
As a LCSW, I've had years of training in multiple methods of working with trauma including CBT, DBT, CBT-PTSD, ACT, Ego State, and EMDR. I believe in the worth of every individual and no two experiences are the same. I believe empathy, respect, and a nonjudgmental approach set the stage for positive client outcomes.
In choosing to engage in therapy with me, I hope you will find warmth and acceptance, a listening ear and understanding heart. Once you engage, you will find the process fluid, with you in charge of your goals and outcomes while I provide tools, support, feedback, and encouragement along the way.

I strive to help others find happiness and direction by using empathy and acceptance to assist the client in learning how to utilize the tools that they need to heal and find peace again.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 14 years of experience supporting adults, teens, and children through life’s challenges. I’ve worked in outpatient, short-term inpatient, and residential settings, and I have a particular passion for helping adults navigate the transitions that come with aging. My approach is rooted in empathy and collaboration, and I strive to help my clients discover new perspectives, identify their goals, and take meaningful steps toward creating a more fulfilling life.
I earned my Master’s in Community Counseling from the University of Central Arkansas and hold certification in tech-assisted counseling. I use a client-centered approach to help individuals identify what they want to achieve and develop personalized plans to reach their goals, always honoring their autonomy and lived experience.
Life can be difficult, especially when faced with pain, loss, or unexpected change. I know the importance of having someone who listens without judgment and provides genuine support. I invite you to reach out so we can work together on building the clarity, healing, and strength needed to make your life what you want it to be.

Life coaching is a personalized support system that helps individuals clarify goals, develop action plans, and navigate challenges. Coaches employ effective communication and active listening to assist clients in overcoming obstacles, unlocking their potential, and achieving personal growth for a more fulfilling life.
In life coaching, our coaches utilize diverse therapeutic techniques that are tailored to individuals, including cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, mindfulness, and positive psychology approaches. They also utilize active listening and empathetic communication to provide a supportive space for you to explore and achieve personal goals and overcome challenges, fostering personal growth and clarity.
Life coaching with our therapists in Conway, AR is conducted both in person and virtually via online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The number of life coaching sessions someone attends can differ based on the coach and the client’s choices. How many sessions are needed and how often they occur often hinges on the client’s objectives and the complexity of their concerns. Some clients might opt for a few sessions to tackle particular goals or issues, while others may decide on ongoing coaching sessions to work on personal growth and life enhancement over a more extended period of time. Thriveworks Conway therapists work with clients to create goals and potential timelines for treatment.
While counseling focuses on the “clinical” side of the life experience, the focus of coaching is setting and achieving life goals. If you believe you could benefit from working with a life coach, reach out to Thriveworks Conway to get started. We offer evening and weekend sessions, accept most major insurances, and provide many additional benefits.
Our professional executive life coaches will work with you on topics such as:
What if your life could be changed in an instant? What would you do first? Where would you go? Where would you live? How would you feel? What would be different? In life coaching, we call these the, “Miracle Questions.” It is an exercise often used in counseling and life coaching to help individuals imagine the true desires of your life. Determining the answers to these questions can help you figure out how you really want your life to be and what is most important to you.
Many of us get bogged down in the common activities of daily life. We get frustrated, bored, lonely, tired, and unable to even remember the goals that we have for ourselves. We simply are trying to make it through each day. We once had a dream for how we wanted our life to turn out, but now we do not know how or where to even start to accomplish this.
When attempting to accomplish a goal, the beginning step is determining what the blocks are in your path to success. As life coaches, we can help you figure this out and develop a plan to overcome your obstacles. When you begin to make real changes in your life and start to believe that this is actually possible, things will change more quickly and progress will become tangible.
Thriveworks Conway life coaches are experts in their field. They have experience guiding clients in reaching their goals and realizing their dreams. We all experience challenges on our road to success, such as emotional, financial, and psychological problems. Having a professional life coach to guide you through the challenges you might face. Our life coaches are all trained and licensed (by the State of Arkansas) mental health professionals. This is important to know, as we will explain in further detail.
At Thriveworks Conway Life Coaching, we pride ourselves on not operating with a waiting list. We offer evening and weekend sessions, same-week appointments, wide insurance coverage, and additional benefits.
You have kept your dreams on the back burner long enough. Look past your daily frustrations and struggles and let your dreams become reality. Vocalize your goals and make them happen.
