About SharRon
SharRon Leonard is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with over 10 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Her practice also addresses related issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency, and forgiveness.
She starts from the view that each person knows their story best. Sessions aim to clarify what matters most to the client and identify small, practical steps forward. Conversations focus on strengths the client already has, and on patterns that may keep painful feelings like guilt and shame active.
In sessions she offers direct, goal-focused work alongside space to process painful memories and emotions. That can mean looking at unhelpful thinking, practicing new ways of relating, and setting boundaries or behavioral changes that fit daily life. She frames challenges plainly and helps clients weigh options for change.
SharRon draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work while keeping it adaptable to each person’s needs. She accepts international clients and provides services in English. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques commonly involve practices like cognitive work and behavioral experiments. Cognitive-focused work looks at unhelpful thoughts that feed guilt and shame and teaches ways to test and change those thoughts. Behavioral experiments and small action steps help people try new responses and see practical change in daily life.Another common approach involves trauma-informed processing to help reduce the intensity of painful memories. This can include paced exposure to memories and learning grounding skills to manage strong emotions. These methods aim to reduce the hold of past events while increasing the ability to function day to day.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques best match their goals, history, and preferences. That plan can be adjusted as work continues to reflect what is helping.
