Sharon Mortimer, LCSW

Sharon Mortimer is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Florida. She brings 43 years of experience to sessions and focuses on practical tools to reduce stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. Sharon listens closely and helps people take the next step toward clearer thinking and healthier behavior.

She uses cognitive behavioral therapy as part of a flexible approach that adapts to each person. Sessions combine conversation with concrete strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Mindfulness practices and emotion-focused ideas are added when they suit the goal.

Sharon has a long history working with people affected by trauma and abuse. She understands how hurtful experiences shape daily life and helps people move forward at a pace that feels manageable. She also supports those dealing with relationship difficulties, family problems, and the strain of life transitions.

Her work covers additional concerns such as communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation, life purpose, and mood disorders. She names veteran and armed forces issues among her focus areas and brings decades of practice to complex situations.

In sessions Sharon aims to be a steady listener and clear communicator. She helps people set realistic goals and build skills that fit their daily routines. If someone is ready to start, she offers guidance and practical steps toward change.

Using CBT, Client-Centered Work, and DBT Online

Sharon combines cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered care, and dialectical behavior ideas in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing thought patterns and behaviors that fuel anxiety, depression, and addictions. It uses short-term exercises and homework to build new skills and clearer thinking.

Client-centered therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is important, and helps the person find their own solutions. Dialectical behavior therapy adds practical skill-building for handling strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, useful for mood and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences and together decide which techniques to try first. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what works best for each person.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging for flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or be used when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are handy for shorter check-ins, notes between sessions, or when someone prefers writing over talking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around life's demands.
