About Sharon
Sharon Crane is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma and related concerns. She also helps with parenting questions, relationship and family conflict, career stress, bipolar mood issues, and panic symptoms.
Sharon uses straightforward, practical methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and also draws on client-centered and trauma-focused approaches. Sessions focus on clear goals, short-term strategies, and skills people can try between meetings.
Her background includes work with diverse cultural communities. She grew up in South America and speaks both English and Portuguese. That experience informs how she discusses cultural influences on relationships, parenting, and mood struggles.
In sessions Sharon talks through specific problems like communication breakdowns, control issues, guilt, shame, impulsivity, isolation, and panic attacks. Conversations move from identifying patterns to trying different ways of responding. She offers both individual work and group formats in past practice, and she can help parents address childhood behavior concerns such as defiance, bullying, peer pressure, and school performance.
People can expect a practical focus on skills and problem solving. The emphasis is on clear steps to manage symptoms and handle life changes, with language and examples kept direct and concrete.
How her approaches translate to online work
Sharon commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-focused methods in her work. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and try specific experiments to change them, which fits well with short exercises and homework between sessions. Trauma-focused therapy addresses how past stressful events affect present reactions and focuses on stabilizing skills and gradual processing when appropriate.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sharon discusses goals and preferences with each person and together they decide which methods to emphasize. That shared planning helps shape session structure and homework tasks so they fit the person's needs.
Confirm the current session options before booking. Many clients find online sessions useful for fitting therapy around work, school, or caregiving duties because they avoid travel time and can be scheduled during a lunch break or after work. Some people prefer audio-only check-ins when bandwidth is limited or when a quicker, less structured check-in is needed. Discuss format details when you schedule so sessions match your daily routine and logistical needs.
