Sharon Mortimer

Sharon Mortimer is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Florida with 43 years of practice. She offers warm, patient listening and clear communication to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, or difficult life transitions. Sharon approaches each person as an individual and focuses on meeting them where they are.

She uses an adaptable blend of methods, drawing on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, emotionally-focused work, and mindfulness practices. Those methods are brought together to build a plan that fits each person’s situation rather than applying one fixed approach. Sharon pays attention to how past harm and abuse can shape a person's present life and decision-making.

Sharon has long worked with relationship and family concerns and supports people dealing with divorce and separation, communication problems, and complicated family dynamics. She also assists with issues such as addictions, low self-esteem, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose and midlife change. Veterans and multicultural concerns are included among her areas of focus.

Her style is practical and down-to-earth. Sessions aim to identify clear steps and coping skills that people can use between meetings. Sharon emphasizes collaboration, listening carefully and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

If someone is ready to begin, Sharon guides them through initial steps and helps set goals so therapy can be purposeful and manageable.

How Sharon's Methods Translate to Online Work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, validation, and helping people find their own solutions. It is useful when someone wants a steady, respectful space to talk through family tensions, divorce and separation issues, or choices about life direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. It is practical for anxiety, depression, and stress when someone wants clear skills and homework to practice between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing overwhelming emotions and improving communication. These tools can help people dealing with crises, intense mood changes, or relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. That collaboration includes trying an approach and adjusting it if it does not feel helpful.
