Mardi Mitchell

Mardi Mitchell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of experience helping people navigate work stress, grief, anxiety, depression, and other life changes. She offers a calm, accepting presence and focuses on what matters most to each person. Mardi helps clients set clear goals and take small, practical steps toward more balance and wellbeing.

Her approach is client-centered, which means she listens first and builds the plan with the person in front of her. She uses a mix of methods such as cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, and acceptance-based techniques to match each situation. Sessions are a place to name problems, try new skills, and track real progress.

Mardi has long experience with caregiver stress, codependency, trauma and abuse, and end-of-life concerns. She also addresses issues like sleep and eating problems, chronic pain and illness, anger, and self-esteem. Career concerns are part of her work when they affect a person’s mood or daily functioning.

Clients can expect practical tools alongside supportive listening. Therapy may include behavior-focused exercises, skill-building for emotional regulation, and values-based planning to guide decisions. The goal is steady, usable change rather than vague promises.

Her practice is based in Florida and sessions are conducted in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Mardi uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters most and take small committed steps toward those values. ACT often helps when someone feels stuck by painful thoughts or uncertainty.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, which looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety and depression. CBT can be useful for managing sleep, eating habits, and day-to-day stressors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what helps in practice, then try methods that fit the person’s needs. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust methods if something isn’t working.

Online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy life more manageable. It can reduce travel time and let people schedule appointments around work or caregiving. If you want to know which session formats are offered, please confirm current options before booking so you can pick what fits your routine best.
