About Sharon
Sharon Mortimer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 43 years of practice. She lists stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns among her focus areas and supports people facing those difficulties.
Sharon uses a flexible, client-centered approach that adapts to each person's situation. She blends methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and mindfulness to shape a plan that fits practical goals. Sessions emphasize clear listening and straightforward communication rather than jargon.
Her background includes long-term work across many populations and settings, which informs how she relates to different life problems. She describes particular experience with the effects of abuse and with interrupting destructive family patterns. Sharon also notes work related to mood disorders, addictions, multicultural concerns, and veteran and armed forces issues.
In practice she focuses on concrete skills and small, steady steps. That can mean using CBT tools to notice thinking patterns, DBT strategies to manage intense feelings, or EFT ideas to improve emotional connection in relationships. Mindfulness practices are offered as short, practical exercises clients can try between sessions.
Sharon works in English and accepts international clients. Prospective clients in Florida who want to proceed are asked to use the site's See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How her approaches fit into online work
Sharon commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative way to set goals and make decisions. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful cycles.She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which teaches skills for managing distress and regulating strong emotions. These methods can help with anxiety, mood concerns, relationship strain, and reactions after trauma. Deciding which mix to use is a shared process; the therapist works with each person to choose approaches that match their goals and preferences.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a workday, cut out travel time, and try shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and how to apply CBT, DBT or client-centered techniques in remote sessions to support everyday coping and problem solving.
