Sharon McKinney

MA, LPC

Education: Sharon McKinney began her career as a teacher and Youth Director, but her desire to be further equipped in ministry and to study the Bible more in-depth led her to Dallas Theological Seminary in Texas. There, she earned her Master of Arts in Biblical Counseling, a degree that laid the foundation for her future work in helping individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges.

Experience: With over five years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in West Virginia, Sharon has worked in various settings. She has counseled individual clients ranging in age from 13 to 73, as well as couples facing a diverse array of challenges. Sharon’s early career as a teacher and Youth Director provided her with a unique perspective and skill set, which she brings to her counseling practice today.

Tools: Sharon often employs a range of therapeutic approaches tailored to meet the specific needs of her clients. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), integrating contemplative practices to help clients find peace and purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another key component of her practice, often combined with Motivational Interviewing to foster positive change. For couples, Sharon utilizes resources from Prepare/Enrich and the Gottman Method to strengthen relationships. Additionally, for those who request it, she incorporates Scripture and prayer into her sessions, providing a faith-based approach to healing and growth.

About Sharon: Sharon McKinney is passionate about meeting clients where they are, listening empathetically, and encouraging them to better understand how God is working in their lives. She believes in the power of healing, contentment, and joy that God longs for everyone to experience. A contemplative at heart, Sharon is committed to helping clients cultivate their spiritual practices while dealing with and learning from the challenges life presents.

Living in Morgantown, West Virginia, for the past decade, Sharon is deeply rooted in her community. She has been married for nearly 20 years and has two teenage sons, along with a beloved beagle named Bailey. Originally from Western Pennsylvania, Sharon brings a wealth of personal and professional experience to her counseling practice, offering a compassionate and holistic approach to those she serves.

Grace’s Counseling Blueprint

Integrating Biblical & Clinical Care

Take off the Mask

Grace counselors act as a mirror reflecting back to you how God actually sees you. Imagine embracing how God sees you rather than hiding behind a mask.

Heal the Wounds

Our Christian counselors help you unpack your pain and trauma. Once you’ve located the root issues, we will work together to create healing for your wound.

Remove the Toxins

While it’s tempting to create another mask, our integrated Christian counseling helps you remove the toxic beliefs that are harming you.

Replace with Truth

All truth resides from God’s perspective and is critical for your transformation. To be all that you can be, it is vital for you to understand who you were always created to be.

Other Services

Explore a few ways Grace Christian Counselors can help

Grief Counseling

Losing someone you love hurts really bad. How do you keep going when your heart has been ripped from your chest? At first, you’ll likely find support all around. But after a few weeks, the calls, visits, and food stop, and now, you’re alone. You don’t have to journey through grief alone. Grace’s Christian counselors are trained to guide you through this difficult season.

Trauma Counseling

Just over half of us will experience at least one traumatic event in our lives. Trauma can occur through any event that causes you psychological or emotional harm. Some common events are chronic abuse, sexual violence, being bullied, or abandonment. Our Christian counselors use clinically-informed therapies to help you confront your trauma with coping skills you need to break free.

Sexual Addiction Counseling

Do you feel trapped by always thinking about sex? Does your preoccupation with sex interfere with your daily life? Are you putting yourself or others in danger to fulfill your sexual urges? Grace Christian counselors use evidence-based therapies centered around Christ to help you regain your life from the guilt, shame, and disconnection in sexual addiction.

Spiritual Abuse/Church Hurt Counseling

How do you regain clarity about who God is, your identity, and trust for the people of God after being spiritually abused? Churches are supposed to be communities built around deep love for and trust in one another, especially the leadership. Our counselors are ready to help you navigate through your spiritual pain so that you can be free in God and the church.

Spiritual Warfare Counseling

As Christian counselors we understand that there is more going on than just what meets the eye. Since we apply the best and most current clinically-informed therapies from a biblical worldview, we do not neglect the spiritual component of your identity. We are all involved in a spiritual war, and Grace Christian counselors are ready to equip you with the spiritual weapons you need to succeed.

Anxiety & Depression Counseling

Anxiety and depression distort how we feel, think, and handle mundane activities such as sleep, nutrition, and work for extended periods of time. Both are among the most effectively treated mental disorders with routine therapy being one of the most effective treatment options.

Christ Centered

We believe that Jesus is essential to understanding our identity and purpose.

Clinical Counseling

We provide counseling that blends faith-based principles with clinically informed care.
