About Nupur
Nupur Sharma is an Illinois licensed counselor who helps people handle stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career hurdles, and depression. She keeps sessions straightforward and practical so parents and busy adults can talk through immediate concerns and next steps. She encourages small, useful changes that fit into daily life.
Sharma draws on several therapy styles to match each person's needs. She uses Gottman Method ideas for improving communication and connection, acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and increase psychological flexibility, and attachment-based work to look at relationship patterns.
Background and approach
Cognitive behavioral tools are used to spot and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. Her approach is calm and direct. Sessions focus on clear goals, skill building, and practical strategies to manage mood, panic, or ongoing stress.
She also addresses life transitions, chronic illness, immigration-related strain, and financial stress when these affect day-to-day functioning. With 16 years of experience as an LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - she combines background knowledge with a straightforward style. Conversations are nonjudgmental and paced to each person's readiness.
People meet to set simple action steps and to practice new ways of responding between sessions. Progress is tracked in concrete terms like better sleep, fewer panic episodes, clearer decisions at work, or calmer conversations at home.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Gottman Method ideas focus on clearer communication and repairing everyday conflicts by identifying patterns that lead to disconnection. Online sessions use discussion and structured exercises to practice new ways of talking and listening that can be used at home or in other relationships.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward valued actions. In teletherapy this often looks like brief mindfulness practices, values clarification, and small committed steps between sessions to test new behaviors.
Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship experiences shape current patterns with others. Over video or phone, this work involves mapping those patterns and rehearsing alternative responses with the therapist's feedback.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the client's needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools to emphasize and when to change course.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. Video is useful for longer skill-building sessions, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text is good for brief check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These options offer flexibility for different days and needs.
