About Sharon
Sharon Kuhlmann is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with two decades of clinical experience. She aims to create a calm, straightforward space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, grief, and trauma. Her background as a registered nurse supplements her therapy work by linking body-based reactions to emotions.
Sharon listens closely and offers practical tools to help with everyday struggles. She often teaches breathing and grounding exercises to ease anxiety and supports people in finding clearer thinking and better sleep. She also helps those coping with compassion fatigue and the emotional toll of health care work.
Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking patterns and on mindfulness to increase present-moment awareness. She also uses trauma-focused methods and EMDR for processing traumatic memories when appropriate. The Gottman method informs her work around relationship communication and interaction.
Sessions focus on setting concrete goals and using solution-focused steps to make progress between meetings. Sharon blends teaching, coaching, and listening so clients leave with strategies they can try right away. Her nursing background gives her added perspective on how stress shows up in the body.
Based in Minnesota, Sharon brings a steady, experienced presence to therapy. She encourages people to share their needs openly and to shape the work together. The emphasis is on practical changes that fit into daily life.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Sharon integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR into her practice in ways that people can use in session and at home. CBT focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which helps with anxiety, depression, sleep, and stress. EMDR involves guided processing of traumatic memories to reduce their emotional charge and can help people who have trauma or abuse to feel less triggered.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Sharon will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and what feels comfortable. Together they decide whether to focus on CBT skills, trauma processing, relationship communication, or a mix of methods. The plan can shift as progress is made.
Practical benefits of remote therapy can include easier scheduling, shorter check-ins when needed, and fitting sessions into a busy day without traveling. The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it simpler to practice skills between sessions and to return to techniques during the week.
