About Mardi
Mardi Mitchell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 25 years of practice. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, caregiving strain, relationship concerns, and family of origin issues. Her experience also includes addictions, sleep and eating concerns, anger, self-esteem, and life transitions.
She uses straightforward, client-centered sessions that focus on what is happening now and what practical steps feel doable. Sessions start by looking at patterns that repeat from childhood or family life and how those patterns show up in daily choices. She and the person in therapy set clear, realistic goals and agree on small actions to try between meetings.
Mardi draws on methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, dialectical behavior strategies, and mindfulness practices. She explains approaches in plain language and ties them to everyday problems like feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or chronically worried. Motivational interviewing is used when someone is ready to change behaviors such as substance use or coping routines.
Her background includes long experience supporting people through grief, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and end-of-life concerns. She emphasizes concrete coping skills for difficult moods and for managing strong emotions. Work may include identifying family roles, repairing boundaries, and practicing new ways of relating.
People who schedule with her should expect a collaborative process focused on practical change. Before a first session she asks clients to describe current concerns so the initial work can target what matters most now.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Mardi commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to you and practicing actions that align with those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions to help change unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety or low mood.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy ideas, which place the person at the center of planning. That means she collaborates with clients to choose which methods to try and adjusts the pace based on goals and preferences. Deciding on the best approach happens together and can change as needs evolve.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific online or in-person options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, require less travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some approaches lend themselves to skill practice in the moment, such as brief mindfulness exercises or DBT-style emotion regulation tools that can be coached during a session. Expect practical focus on day-to-day coping and on applying techniques from ACT, CBT, or Client-Centered work to real situations.
