About Sharon
Sharon Crane is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with ten years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Sharon also addresses relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting challenges, bipolar mood issues, and trauma and abuse. She speaks English and Portuguese.
Sharon draws on client-centered work to keep conversations focused on the person's goals and priorities. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help people spot patterns in thinking and behavior that raise stress and anger levels. Trauma-Focused Therapy is part of her approach when past events affect current mood or reactions.
In sessions Sharon focuses on practical steps people can try between meetings. That can mean trying short breathing or grounding exercises, testing different ways to respond in tense moments, or practicing clearer communication. She encourages straightforward skills-building rather than long lectures or medical language.
Having grown up in South America, Sharon brings multicultural experience to conversations about culture and identity. She works in both Portuguese and English and is experienced with diverse backgrounds and the challenges that come with cultural adjustment.
Her practice includes individual and group work in the past, and she supports people dealing with parenting questions like defiance, bullying, and peer pressure. Before booking, confirm the current session formats offered and any details about subscriptions and scheduling.
How her approaches are used for online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's priorities and feelings. Online sessions using this approach are conversation-led and aim to clarify what matters most and what the client wants to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that fuel anger and anxiety. In online CBT work clients often receive simple exercises and experiments to try between meetings to test new ways of reacting and thinking.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different methods. That conversation guides whether more CBT, trauma-focused work, or client-centered listening fits best, and the plan can change as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Online work also makes it easier to schedule around work or parenting demands. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements, frequency, and how to use homework or exercises between sessions to keep progress moving.
