Shara Trumbull, LCSW

Shara Trumbull is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of counseling experience in Tennessee. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and the strains that come with major life changes. Her background includes long-term work with people facing family conflict, grief, addiction, and caregiving burdens.

Shara uses a faith-informed, client-centered stance that begins with listening. She prioritizes building trust and understanding each person’s story before suggesting ways forward. Sessions often center on clearer communication, setting boundaries, and practical steps for coping day to day.

Attachment-based ideas also inform her work, helping people look at how past relationships shape current behavior and emotional responses. That perspective is often used with concerns about intimacy, codependency, and parenthood struggles. She helps clients notice patterns and try new ways of connecting with others.

Shara also supports people dealing with health-related stress like cancer, caregiving strain, and chronic illness adjustments. She combines attention to emotional and spiritual concerns while keeping goals practical and achievable. Meetings typically include problem-solving, self-care planning, and skills to reduce overwhelm.

Her approach suits people who want steady, experienced guidance and a listening-based therapist who will help them make small, workable changes. Readers are invited to consider whether a collaborative, long-term counseling relationship would help them regain balance and hope.

How attachment and client-centered work translate online

Shara draws on client-centered principles that put the person's experience first. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting feelings, and helping people name what matters to them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and times when someone needs steady emotional support.

She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at patterns formed in close relationships. That perspective helps with intimacy issues, codependency, parenting challenges, and family-of-origin concerns by identifying how past bonds affect present reactions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Shara works with each person to decide which ideas fit their needs and goals. She adjusts methods over time based on what helps the person feel and function better.
