About Sharon
Sharon Crane is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common life stresses including anxiety, anger, depression, grief, relationship strain, and parenting concerns. Sharon speaks English and Portuguese and has experience with multicultural clients from South American backgrounds.
She uses straightforward talk therapy and practical strategies. Sharon often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and she also uses client-centered and trauma-focused ideas when they fit. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing new behaviors, and building clearer communication skills.
Sharon has helped people manage panic attacks, mood swings, impulsivity, and feelings of isolation. She also supports those dealing with control issues, guilt, shame, and career stresses. For parents she addresses common child behavior problems such as defiance and peer issues while helping parents find clearer ways to respond.
Her background includes individual, group, and grief work, along with experience supporting people who have faced abuse and trauma. Growing up in South America gives her a personal perspective on how culture shapes relationships and stress. She mentions working with LGBT concerns as part of her practice.
In sessions Sharon aims for direct, respectful conversation and practical next steps. She encourages clients to try small changes between meetings and to track what helps. People who want clear tools for managing anger and stronger communication often find this approach useful.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps people clarify values, priorities, and what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks patterns into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses concrete exercises to test new ways of responding to stress or anger. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding how past events affect current reactions and on building skills to manage strong emotions.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Sharon will review your concerns, goals, and preferences in early sessions and recommend a mix of methods that fit your situation. You and the therapist can adjust the plan as you learn what works best for managing anger, panic, or mood swings.
Confirm the session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, save travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let you use exercises and worksheets between sessions so progress happens outside the meeting time. Ask about the specific session options available when you book.
