About SharRon
SharRon Leonard is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 10 years of professional experience. She focuses on addictions, relationships, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression, and also addresses related concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency, and divorce.
She works from the premise that each person knows their own story best. In sessions she listens, asks practical questions, and helps people identify strengths they can use to manage hard moments. She emphasizes clear, direct support rather than abstract labels or promises.
Her background includes a decade of client work in Florida. That experience has involved helping people facing drug and alcohol addiction, relationship stress, and the emotional fallout from trauma. She also helps those dealing with life transitions like illness, caregiving, or blended family challenges.
Therapy with her typically focuses on concrete goals. Conversations may cover communication skills, setting boundaries, coping strategies for low mood, and ways to rebuild self-worth after hurt. She encourages small, manageable steps and checks progress along the way.
SharRon welcomes people who are navigating early adult pressures such as leaving home, first jobs, relationship changes, and feeling behind. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. To begin, prospective clients follow the site's matching and scheduling process to arrange a first appointment.
Approaches used and how online work looks
SharRon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address core problems. One common approach she draws on helps people identify unhelpful patterns in thoughts and behaviors and practice new skills to respond differently. This approach is useful for depression, low self-esteem, and relationship problems.Another approach focuses on coping after trauma and abuse by teaching grounding strategies, emotion regulation, and ways to reduce the intensity of distressing memories. That work is often practical and paced to what the client can manage.
Choosing the right method is part of the work together. She will review options, talk about what fits your goals, and adjust the approach as you make progress. The client and therapist decide collaboratively which techniques to use and when to try something different.
