SharRon Leonard, LMHC

SharRon Leonard is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with over 10 years of experience. She works with people facing addictions, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She approaches each person as the expert on their own life and aims to guide them toward more satisfying daily habits and clearer thinking.

SharRon focuses on building on a person’s strengths. She helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts and routines and then try different ways of responding. Conversations are practical and goal-oriented, with attention to small changes that make daily life easier.

Her background includes a decade of professional practice as a Florida LMHC. That experience informs straightforward support for situations like grief, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and major life transitions. She also addresses issues tied to adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, and recovery from substance use.

Sessions aim to help people improve communication, set boundaries, and work through control and commitment concerns. SharRon offers help with forgiveness, family conflict, and coping when facing cancer or aging-related stress. Her approach keeps the focus on what clients want to change in their everyday thoughts and habits.

SharRon welcomes people who prefer to work collaboratively and who want clear, practical steps toward their goals. She asks new clients to start with a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability. International clients may be supported; sessions are conducted in English.

Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life

SharRon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people change unhelpful thoughts and daily habits. One approach focuses on identifying common thinking patterns that reinforce low mood or anxiety, then practicing alternative ways of responding. This helps with depression, low self-esteem, and relationship worries. Another approach emphasizes small behavior changes - trying a new routine, adjusting communication, or testing boundary-setting - to reduce stress and improve daily functioning. That kind of work is often useful for addiction recovery, caregiver stress, and chronic illness management.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, and will adjust strategies over time based on what helps most. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan stays relevant and practical.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling, fitting sessions around work or caregiving, and avoiding travel time. Because session formats are not listed in the profile, confirm the current options before booking so you know what will work best for you. Licensed professionals can guide choices about frequency and session length to fit everyday life while focusing on meaningful change.
