About Sharon
Sharon Mortimer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 43 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship concerns, and family issues. Sharon uses several therapeutic methods to help people facing difficult times at home or in their personal lives.
She favors a flexible, person-focused approach and adapts methods to fit each situation. Sessions involve listening, practical problem solving, and helping a person break repeating harmful patterns. Sharon emphasizes understanding how past abuse or family dynamics continue to affect daily life.
Sharon has long experience supporting people through separation, communication problems, and the strain that follows major life changes. She names forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation, and midlife reevaluation among the issues she addresses. She also notes experience with veteran and armed forces concerns and multicultural issues.
Her practice draws on client-centered work alongside cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, dialectical behavior strategies, and emotionally focused ideas. Those approaches are used to help people manage mood, reduce overwhelming thoughts, and develop clearer ways to relate to others. Sharon aims to help a person identify practical steps they can try between sessions.
She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. To get started, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the site's online options. Sharon describes therapy as a cooperative process that begins with small, manageable changes.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and responding to what a person says. It helps people who need space to talk through family patterns, grief, or relationship strain and want someone who follows their lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors. It offers straightforward tools to change unhelpful thinking, manage anxiety, and reduce depressive symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for strong reactions in family interactions.Finding the best mix of approaches is part of the work. Sharon will review what feels most useful and adjust methods as goals and needs become clearer. The decision about which techniques to use is collaborative and revisited as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day because they remove travel time, allow a shorter check-in when needed, or make it simpler to arrange a session around work or childcare. Licensed professionals can still use hands-on tools like worksheets, mindfulness exercises, and behavioral assignments in online meetings to support practical change.
