Omg. THAT FACE! She's gorgeous!
Other commenter covered what I came to say mostly.
My dog has minor separation and confinement anxieties as well. He does well now left loose. I chose not to crate train him even though I maybe should. He likes his crate as a den with the door open, and I'm okay to leave it at that. I don't condone not crate training, it's a really useful tool to have, but I can say do what's best for you. You may wish to re crate train as though she were a pup starting from scratch and only when you are home at first.
Anyways, some other things that have helped me include D.A.P. spray which works well on my boy. I spritz some in the living room and around his crate before I leave. I film him with my laptop webcam, and he's calmer and calmer sooner with it than without. I also leave my computer playing some soft classical to help drown out or distract from outside noises or loud footsteps our landlord makes (we share a wall).
Desensitizing her to your departure cues is a great idea! And you should definitely keep up the habit of acting like you're getting ready, grabbing keys, etc and then settling in for some tv.
a Kong or an activity ball filled with treats to keep him busy so he doesn't notice you leave, just try giving it to him and then just go outside and wait, see if he starts howling, otherwise you can try pheromone sprays, it's these sprays that have the same pheromones that their mothers have and it makes puppies feel safer and more comfortable.
