About SharRon

SharRon Leonard is a Florida 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 issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and codependency.

She works with adults who feel stuck or unsure what comes next. Sessions focus on identifying what matters most and on small, practical steps toward clearer choices. Conversations are direct and aimed at helping people notice strengths they already have and use them to manage difficult emotions and behaviors.

Her approach uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address patterns that keep people stuck. She offers steady guidance and practical tools for coping with cravings, rebuilding trust after hurt, and improving communication. Goals are set together and revisited so progress is clear and manageable.

SharRon draws on a decade of clinical work in Florida to shape how she supports people. She encourages realistic action plans that fit everyday life, rather than abstract promises. The emphasis is on what can change now and how to keep moving forward when momentum fades.

People who choose her often want help making decisions after a life change, dealing with longstanding pain or addiction, or finding more direction in personal relationships. To begin, she asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to outline goals and next steps.

How her therapeutic methods translate to online work

SharRon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to change unhelpful patterns and build practical skills. One common approach focuses on identifying triggers and learning specific coping strategies for cravings and addictive urges; this helps people manage impulses and plan alternative actions. Another approach emphasizes processing trauma-related thoughts and feelings in manageable steps, which can reduce their hold on daily decisions and relationships.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. She will work with clients to match techniques to their goals and preferences, checking in and adjusting as needed. That collaborative process includes setting clear short-term goals so progress can be tracked between sessions.

The original biography does not list which online formats she offers, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often find that regular remote sessions help maintain momentum after a life change or during recovery from addiction without promising a specific outcome.
