About Sharon
Sharon Crane is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with ten years of experience. She speaks English and Portuguese and draws on her multicultural background to relate to people from different cultures. Sharon focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood shifts, and the disruptions life brings.
Her work aims to be warm and nonjudgmental. She uses clear, practical talk to help clients sort through feelings like anger, shame, or isolation.
How Sharon works
Sessions focus on problem-solving, improving communication, and building day-to-day coping skills. Sharon often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep problems going. She also uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to each person.
For people affected by traumatic events, she incorporates trauma-focused work to reduce distress and regain a sense of control. She helps with concerns such as depression, panic attacks, bipolar mood concerns, relationship strain, grief, parenting stress, and work-related pressure. Additional attention is given to communication problems, control issues, impulsivity, and feelings of loneliness.
Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese, and international clients are accepted. Sharon offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, using a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on available times.

Approaches for online care and what they do
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and values. The therapist listens closely, reflects what matters to the client, and follows their pace to build confidence and clarity. This approach helps when someone needs a respectful space to sort out feelings and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It uses simple exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, panic attacks, low mood, and managing impulsive reactions.
Trauma-Focused Therapy aims to reduce the hold of painful memories and overwhelming reactions. It includes practical techniques to rebuild a sense of control and calm after traumatic events, and can help with flashbacks, hyperarousal, or intense shame.
Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Plans are adjusted as therapy progresses to match changing needs.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face without travel. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, asynchronous support, and easier scheduling around work or family time. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and fit it into a busy life.
