About Sharon
Sharon Toldson is a licensed mental health clinician (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and life transitions. She offers straightforward support for grief, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem struggles, depression, and career questions.
Background and approach
Sharon also addresses trauma, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and issues around attachment and communication. Sharon takes a practical, person-focused approach.
She listens first and then tailors conversations and strategies to fit each person’s needs. Sessions emphasize clear steps and tools that can be used between meetings.
The tone is respectful, direct, and encouraging. Her methods draw on several evidence-informed approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, existential ideas, and the Gottman Method for relationship-focused work.
Those approaches inform how she teaches coping skills, emotion regulation, and clearer communication. Sharon blends techniques to match what a person is facing rather than following a single recipe.
With nearly two decades of experience, Sharon works with people dealing with addictions, family problems, blended-family issues, guilt and shame, and questions of life purpose. She also supports those coping with post-traumatic stress, panic attacks, seasonal mood shifts, and veteran-related concerns.
Sharon offers help in English and provides sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. She encourages anyone taking the first steps toward change to reach out and complete a short matching questionnaire to begin scheduling sessions.
How therapy approaches fit into online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept unpleasant feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes where avoidance keeps people stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors, which helps with panic, mood problems, and stress. The Gottman Method concentrates on building communication skills and managing conflict in relationships using clear exercises and discussion techniques.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then combine methods that fit those needs. Over the first few sessions she will check what is working and adjust the plan so it stays useful and realistic.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls work well for more interactive skill practice and conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text sessions can fit brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or times when a shorter contact during the day is needed. These options help people fit therapy into work, family, and travel schedules.
