About me
Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with approximately 15 years experience. My primary focus has been working with children, teens, adults and families. I seek to establish a relationship with a client through a respectful, caring approach and help them identify their strengths and needs to achieve their goals. I also enjoy working with young adults making the transition from adolescence to adulthood and have worked with clients who are struggling with life changes, grief and loss. I begin with a client centered approach but also utilize behavioral & cognitive therapy and mindfulness activities to help manage stress, anxiety and anger. I have also worked with numerous families who have children diagnosed with ADHD, behavioral problems, anger and anxiety.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Sharon Koltis. We don’t pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I feel extremely comfortable talking to her and am confident im her expertise!
Sharon is amazing. I originally signed up to get help with OCD but after a session with Sharon I was pointed into a different direction. After getting assessed I was able to get treated for ADD. I feel 100% like myself again, happy and positive. I highly recommend Sharon to anyone just starting therapy or looking for help with being diagnosed.
Sharon is kind, compassionate, patient, and thoughtful. I am immensely grateful for her attention and insight, and I highly recommend her.
Sharon is warm and kind and a very good listener. She has good advice and a variety of resources to help you heal.
Sharon was wonderful at listening and working with me and making me feel both comfortable and empowered with the tools I needed.
Sharon is amazing. I've been through many counselors in my adult life and she is one of the best I've ever had. Kind, Patient, meets me where I am. Not afraid to call me out on my BS. Understands my struggles and guides me to my own conclusions. When I've felt like I was completely breaking she was there for me and gave me the extra support I needed. I've made more progress with myself in the last months working with her than I have on my own or with other counselors. 100/10 would highly recommend
She listened to me. She was is very uplifting and that's what I need especially at this time in my life.
I just needed to talk to someone about everything going on with me as well as my past. I just wanted her to listen, and without me having to say anything she knew that. To me that is prime example of what a great counselor is. When I do need feed back she answers honestly and with compassion. I would recommended Sharon to everyone.
She is great!
Sharon has been wonderful to talk with. She shared worksheets, books, and wisdom.
Sharon is great to work with. She meets me where I'm at and offers guidance that is spot on, I've really enjoyed working with her!
Sharon is a great counselor and really takes time to listen and understand what concerns you. A great person to have a conversation with.
Very competent and understanding lady.
So far so good. Timely responses. Sending coping skills specifically for my needs. Checks on me when I dont reach out for a few days. Very pleased so far.
