Mardi Mitchell

Mardi Mitchell is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, grief, anxiety, and life changes. She brings 25 years of experience and a calm, steady presence to conversations about hard topics. Clients can expect a straightforward, caring approach that focuses on practical steps. She works with issues like depression, coping with loss, caregiver strain, and challenges related to chronic illness and aging.

Mardi centers sessions on each person's goals and daily life. She listens without judgment and builds a plan together with clear, manageable steps. Methods may include acceptance and commitment strategies, cognitive-behavioral tools, mindfulness, and skills drawn from dialectical behavior therapy. The exact mix depends on what the client needs and prefers.

Sessions often involve talking through practical problems, learning new ways to handle difficult feelings, and testing small behavior changes between meetings. Mardi also supports people facing end-of-life decisions and hospice-related concerns with calm conversation and practical planning. She pays attention to caregiver stress, addiction struggles, and family-of-origin patterns that keep people stuck.

Her style is warm and direct. She helps people set realistic goals and track progress. Over time clients build skills for managing anxiety, improving sleep and eating patterns, and repairing strained relationships.

Mardi holds a Master of Social Work and is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, in Florida. She prefers to tailor therapy to each person and encourages questions about approach and fit before starting work together.

How her approaches shape online care

Mardi uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide work online. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and focus on values-based actions rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thinking. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and testing small changes that can reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions grounded in the client's experience. That means listening closely, reflecting what matters, and letting the client's goals direct the work. Choosing an approach is a shared process; Mardi will discuss options and help decide what fits best based on a person's needs and preferences.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when time is limited, or allow for a quieter setting with less travel time. Many people find it helpful for practicing new skills in real life between meetings and for staying consistent with appointments.
