About Mardi

Mardi Mitchell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida who focuses on helping adults manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With 25 years of experience, she supports people coping with compassion fatigue, addiction, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and challenges around sleep, eating, parenting, anger, self-esteem, and career pressures. Her practice also attends to issues such as abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, domestic violence, and end-of-life and hospice concerns.

Her approach centers on a collaborative, client-centered process in which the therapist and client build a plan together tailored to individual needs. Mardi draws from evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based techniques, motivational interviewing, and client-centered therapy to address specific problems and skill development.

She seeks to create an accepting, nonjudgmental space that encourages honest exploration and practical steps toward goals. Mardi values the courage it takes to seek help and aims to guide clients through measurable progress and greater balance in daily life.

Her background in social work and long clinical experience inform a compassionate, pragmatic style geared toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing new skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and committing to meaningful actions even when discomfort arises. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and a supportive relationship that allows people to explore feelings and make choices that match their goals and values.

Mardi approaches treatment collaboratively, working with each person to determine which combination of methods fits their situation and goals. She will help assess needs, explain options, and adjust the therapeutic plan as progress and preferences become clearer, so your care evolves with you.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to access regular sessions from home or work, maintain continuity during life changes, and use short-message check-ins or longer video appointments depending on what best supports ongoing progress.
