Sharon Crane

Sharon Crane is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with ten years of practice. She speaks English and Portuguese and draws on life experience across cultures to help people manage stress and major life shifts. Sharon aims for a calm, respectful tone in sessions and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

Her work covers common concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, and mood swings, along with relationship difficulties and parenting challenges. She also supports people coping with trauma, abuse, and issues related to identity and the LGBT community. Sharon lists coping with life changes as a particular focus area.

Sharon often uses client-centered techniques that keep the conversation focused on each person’s goals. She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice patterns of thinking and try different behaviors. Trauma-focused methods are used when past events are getting in the way of daily life.

People describe practical sessions that address communication, control issues, guilt, impulsivity, isolation, and panic symptoms. Sharon has experience with grief work and support around career stress and parenting concerns, including school-related problems. She welcomes international clients and works with adults in English and Portuguese.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and scheduling is arranged based on therapist availability. Sharon uses a subscription model for sessions, which can be canceled at any time and varies with location and therapist availability.

How Sharon’s approaches work online and in sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on what matters to the person in the room. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people set their own goals. This approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of changes and decide next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Sharon uses CBT techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety or improve mood. This can be useful for panic symptoms, low mood, and managing stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sharon will talk with each person about goals, test methods that fit, and adjust the plan over time. That collaborative process helps shape whether client-centered conversation, CBT tools, or trauma-focused work will be emphasized.

For practical benefits, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to meet from different locations, including international clients. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand and reduce travel time. Confirm current session options and formats before booking to make sure they match your needs.
