About SharRon
SharRon Leonard is a licensed mental health counselor working in Florida with 10 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with addiction, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Her approach centers on meeting each person where they are and building practical steps forward together.
She invites clients to treat therapy as a team effort. She begins by listening to the whole story and identifying strengths the person already has.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on clear goals, small changes that add up, and building healthier habits for daily life. SharRon draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address old wounds and current stressors. She helps people process trauma, cope with mood shifts, and reduce behaviors that cause harm.
When addiction is present, work centers on understanding triggers and finding safer ways to meet needs. Practical skills are part of the work. Clients practice new ways to communicate, set boundaries, and manage overwhelming feelings.
The emphasis is on usable tools that make everyday life feel more manageable. SharRon welcomes international clients and conducts sessions in English. She uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels.
Getting started involves a short questionnaire and scheduling a first session to see if the match feels right.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
SharRon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach she uses helps people process traumatic memories by breaking problems into smaller parts and practicing new responses; this can reduce reactivity and make daily life easier. Another approach emphasizes skill-building for mood and behavior regulation, teaching concrete tools to manage depressive symptoms, cravings, and strong emotions.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist listens to the person's concerns, reviews goals, and suggests which techniques to try first. Plans are revisited as work progresses so treatments can be adjusted to fit changing needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow full interaction similar to in-person sessions. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or an option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for people who prefer writing, want brief support between sessions, or need a check-in outside regular hours. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while working with a licensed professional.
