About Sharon
FL Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 10 years of experience, Sharon Crane helps people in Florida manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and grief. She speaks English and Portuguese and accepts international clients. Sharon uses client-centered work alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-focused methods where they fit.
Sharon frames sessions around practical concerns. She listens for what is causing day-to-day difficulty and then works with clients to try different strategies. That can mean looking at unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing new ways to react, or focusing on painful memories that keep coming up.
She has worked with people facing parenting challenges such as defiance, bullying, peer pressure, and school performance. Her background also includes grief counseling, individual therapy, group work, and supporting people affected by relationship problems and domestic abuse. Sharon notes how cultural background can shape feelings and relationships, drawing on her own U.S. upbringing with South American experience.
In sessions she combines client-centered listening with structured tools from CBT and trauma-focused work. That means time to speak freely and also hands-on techniques to change thoughts and behaviors. She pays attention to communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation, mood disorders, panic, and bipolar concerns.
Sharon aims to help parents, caregivers, and individuals who need clear steps and practical coping skills. People who want conversational, skills-focused therapy often find her style straightforward and task oriented.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. Online sessions using this approach let clients talk through current problems while the therapist reflects and clarifies. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In remote sessions that can include working through thought records, planning behavior experiments, and practicing coping techniques together. Trauma-Focused Therapy involves carefully addressing distressing memories and reactions. When used online it emphasizes pacing, grounding skills, and techniques to reduce the intensity of traumatic recollections.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That means checking in on what helps, adjusting techniques, and prioritizing what the client wants to focus on as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Practically, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also allow people to work through CBT exercises or trauma-focused pacing from wherever they can arrange a quieter time to speak. Licensed professionals provide options and will explain what formats they offer during the initial match and scheduling steps.
