About Mardi
Mardi Mitchell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of experience helping people manage stress, anger, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. She listens without judgment and focuses on practical steps a person can try between sessions. Her straightforward style is aimed at people who want clear tools and steady support during hard times.
Mardi uses a client-centered approach to shape each plan around individual needs. She works with people to name the problems that matter most and then sets realistic goals together.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what’s happening now and what can help change it. Her work often includes teaching skills from cognitive behavioral therapy to shift unhelpful thinking patterns. She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy ideas to help people live according to their values, even when emotions are strong.
Mindfulness exercises and DBT strategies show up when they fit the goals. Mardi has supported people facing caregiving stress, chronic illness, addiction concerns, and family of origin issues. She also helps with anger, guilt, shame, and end-of-life concerns.
Her background includes long experience across a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges. In sessions people can expect clear options, collaborative planning, and practical homework when it helps. Mardi offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different routines and preferences.
She practices in Florida and conducts work in English.

How therapy approaches work online
Mardi combines practical methods that translate well to remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small experiments to change patterns of thinking and behavior. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger-related reactions.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, called ACT, helps people clarify personal values and take meaningful action even when uncomfortable feelings are present. It often helps when someone wants to move forward despite grief, guilt, or persistent stress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Mardi will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest strategies to try together. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what helps most.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and practice skills in real time, phone sessions work when bandwidth is low, live chat can support brief check-ins, and text messaging helps with ongoing reminders or short updates. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and keep work moving between appointments.
