About SharRon
SharRon Leonard is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 10 years of experience. She works with adults facing addictions, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Her practice also addresses related concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and substance use problems.
SharRon frames clients as the experts on their own lives and offers guidance to help people move toward clearer priorities. In sessions she listens for existing strengths and practical ways to build on them. She describes the decision to seek help as a courageous step and focuses on steady, professional support rather than quick fixes.
Her approach centers on evidence-based therapeutic techniques adapted to each person’s situation. Conversations tend to be direct and goal-oriented, with attention to patterns in relationships, coping with stress, and managing mood. She encourages small, manageable changes that fit into everyday life.
Clients can expect straightforward feedback and collaborative planning about next steps. SharRon pays attention to how past experiences shape current choices and helps people practice new responses to stressful situations. Her work includes addressing communication, commitment and control issues that often come up when relationships are strained.
For people dealing with life changes related to illness, caregiving, blended family challenges, or separation, she helps clarify priorities and practical options. She also supports those navigating recovery from drug or alcohol problems and the relational effects that follow.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
SharRon works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and improving coping skills. One common approach she uses targets thoughts and behaviors that keep depression and low self-esteem going; it involves noticing negative patterns and practicing different ways of responding. Another approach focuses on coping after trauma and abuse by helping people process difficult memories and reduce their day-to-day impact on mood and relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She collaborates with clients to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and what feels doable. That means checking in on what helps, adjusting plans, and practicing new skills between sessions.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as scheduling sessions around work or caregiving, avoiding travel time, or choosing a shorter check-in when needed.
