About Sharon

Sharon Crane is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with ten years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma.

Background and approach

She brings a multicultural perspective from growing up in South America and works in both English and Portuguese, combining empathy and respectful collaboration to tailor care to each person’s needs. Her background includes individual, group, and family therapy, and she has supported children and adolescents as well as parents addressing defiance, bullying, peer pressure, and school-related concerns.

Sharon’s practice draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy while also integrating client-centered and trauma-focused techniques as needed, allowing her to adapt interventions to the situation. She focuses on mood and anxiety concerns, panic and impulse-related issues, relationship and communication problems, and themes such as guilt, shame, isolation, and control.

Sharon accepts international clients and offers multiple session formats to accommodate varied schedules, aiming to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where people can pursue realistic goals and practical coping strategies.

Approaches that guide online therapy and support

Sharon draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete coping skills for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood-related concerns. She also employs Client-Centered Therapy principles, focusing on empathy, respect, and collaborative goal-setting to create a supportive space for exploring personal values and relationship dynamics.

Deciding on the best approach is a collaborative process. Sharon will work with each client to consider presenting issues, personal preferences, and treatment goals, adjusting techniques over time to find what works best for the individual.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, online therapy provides flexibility for people with busy schedules or geographic constraints. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and access support in ways that fit daily life while still working with a licensed professional.
