Sharon Crane, LMHC

Sharon Crane is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with ten years of experience. She offers a calm, respectful presence for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma and abuse. Sharon speaks English and Portuguese and brings personal experience with South American and U.S. cultures to her work.

Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. She listens first, then helps people set clear, manageable goals. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between appointments to feel steadier and more able to cope.

Sharon commonly uses cognitive behavioral approaches to spot unhelpful thinking and shift behavior. She also draws on client-centered principles to keep the sessions focused on each person's priorities. Trauma-focused methods are applied when past hurt is a key part of what someone wants to address.

She has worked with people dealing with family and relationship strain, parenting concerns, mood and panic problems, and issues related to identity and LGBT matters. Sharon also supports people navigating career stress, control challenges, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation.

Her bilingual abilities help when language or cultural experience matters to the conversation. To begin, users typically select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to therapist availability. Fees vary by location and are part of a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Sharon commonly uses cognitive behavioral methods and client-centered therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, panic, or low mood. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's goals so conversations stay relevant and respectful.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sharon works with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and daily life. She adapts techniques as progress is made, and she involves clients in choosing what to focus on each week.

Confirm the available session options before booking so you know how she currently schedules appointments. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and offer shorter check-ins when a full session isn't needed. It can also allow sessions across time zones for international clients. If language or cultural background matters to you, sessions in English or Portuguese are available to help bridge those differences.
