Mardi Mitchell, LCSW

Mardi Mitchell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and big life changes. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about what matters most to them. Her style is warm and practical, focused on making day-to-day life a little easier.

With 25 years of clinical experience, Mardi draws on commonly used approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness-based work. She and each client build a plan together that reflects the client’s goals and current needs. Sessions often focus on small, actionable steps to reduce distress and improve coping.

Her background includes long-term work with caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, bereavement and hospice-related concerns, and issues tied to family of origin and codependency. She also supports people dealing with anger, self-esteem struggles, addiction-related concerns, and sleep or eating difficulties. That breadth of experience shapes a practical way of working rather than a one-size-fits-all method.

Mardi emphasizes collaboration and realistic goal-setting. She listens for what feels most urgent and helps clients prioritize next steps. Progress is measured in changes people can use in everyday routines and relationships.

She practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English. People interested in starting are invited to use the site’s Start Therapy process to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Many of the methods Mardi uses are practical and skills-based. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed steps toward them while learning to accept difficult emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful routines. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and improve attention.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and daily life. That conversation may include trying different tools and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can help fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use breaks or lunch hours more easily. It can also make it simpler to continue care during illness or caregiving demands. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and mindfulness exercises for remote sessions so clients can practice skills between appointments.
