About Sharon

Sharon Mortimer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 43 years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship concerns, and family issues. Sharon uses straightforward talk and practical strategies to address day-to-day problems.

She brings decades of experience across different settings and populations. That background means she often draws on multiple methods rather than a single approach. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, learning new skills, and reducing harmful patterns that get in the way of daily life.

Sharon places particular attention on the effects of abuse and how early family patterns repeat across generations. She supports people who want to change destructive cycles and improve how they relate to others. She also works with concerns such as communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, guilt and shame, isolation, and midlife questions.

In practical terms, Sharon listens closely and helps clients build tools they can use outside sessions. She uses client-centered conversations alongside cognitive and behavioral strategies and mindfulness techniques. Therapy meetings often include skill practice, problem solving, and direct feedback.

Sharon offers services in English and accepts international clients. Her long experience is used to tailor an approach that fits each person’s situation and goals. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

BHow sessions work

How Sharon’s approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s concerns and priorities. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps people set realistic goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for people who feel stuck by intense emotions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Sharon will discuss goals, preferences, and which techniques seem most useful. That collaboration helps shape sessions so they match what a person needs and what feels manageable day to day.

The specific session formats for this profile were not listed, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people practice skills in their normal routines and return to the therapist with concrete examples. If international consultations are desired, confirm format and scheduling details when arranging the first appointment.
