Mardi Mitchell, LCSW - Therapist in Florida

About Mardi

Mardi Mitchell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and parenting challenges. She works with individuals experiencing relationship strain, compassion fatigue, addiction concerns, sleep and eating issues, and career stress. Sessions are offered in English and conducted from Florida.

Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. She creates a space where people can talk about what matters most to them, and she builds the plan together with each person.

Background and approach

Goals are practical and focused on changes that can make daily life easier. Mardi adapts evidence-based methods to each person’s needs. She draws from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and from acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and take meaningful action.

Mindfulness skills and dialectical behavior therapy techniques are used when calm, focus, or emotion regulation are needed. She has worked with many people managing caregiver stress, family of origin issues, chronic illness, and end-of-life concerns. Mardi also addresses abandonment, codependency, control issues, guilt and shame, and forgiveness in therapy.

Her approach is pragmatic and steady, emphasizing small, manageable steps. To begin, Mardi asks clients to share what is most important to them and then co-create a path forward. She supports people through life transitions and hard decisions using clear, everyday language instead of jargon.

The goal is to help clients find more balance and clearer direction in their lives.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions that match those values. It is useful for coping with anxiety, grief, and life changes by focusing on committed steps rather than only trying to remove uncomfortable feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and low mood.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules. Video calls let people work face to face from home, phone sessions give a simpler option when video isn't possible, and live chat or text-based messaging support brief check-ins or ongoing skills practice between sessions. These formats aim to offer flexibility and steady contact while using the same therapeutic methods one would use in person.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
