About Sharon
Sharon Mortimer is a licensed clinical social worker with 43 years of experience. She favors an adaptable, person-focused style and listens carefully to each person who comes to her practice. Sharon uses a mix of approaches to match what a client needs in the moment.
She draws on client-centered work to shape a respectful relationship, cognitive behavioral tools to spot thought patterns, and mindfulness practices to help calm stress and anxiety.
Background and approach
She also uses dialectical skills and emotionally-focused methods when feelings or relationships are the focus. Her background includes long experience with trauma and all forms of abuse, and she has worked extensively with mood concerns such as depression and anxiety. Sharon also supports people dealing with addiction, low self-esteem, relationship strain, and family-related problems.
Additional areas she addresses include grief, guilt and shame, communication problems, and questions about life purpose and midlife changes. Sharon emphasizes steady, practical steps rather than quick fixes. Sessions tend to focus on clearer thinking, emotion regulation, and small behavior changes that add up over time.
She aims to help people build tools they can use outside the session. She practices in Florida and offers services in English. Sharon welcomes people from different cultural backgrounds and will collaborate on a plan tailored to individual needs.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, supportive relationship where the client sets the pace and goals. This approach helps when someone needs to feel heard and understood before tackling deeper issues.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change patterns that fuel anxiety or depression. It is useful for stress, mood concerns, and many daily challenges.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can help people who feel overwhelmed by strong feelings or who struggle with repeated behavior patterns.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will review concerns, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively whether to adjust the plan as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier and to fit different needs. Video lets therapists see body language, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging helps with ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, or travel commitments.
