About Sharon

Sharon Toldson is a Florida-based licensed mental health clinician (LMHC) who brings 19 years of experience supporting people facing a wide range of life challenges, including stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma, depression, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She prioritizes respectful, sensitive care and adapts conversations and plans to the individual, combining practical strategies with empathic guidance to help clients move forward. Sharon uses evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, along with relationship-focused tools like the Gottman Method when appropriate.

Her work also attends to related areas such as attachment difficulties, communication problems, codependency, substance use, and compassion fatigue. She speaks English and practices in Florida, offering services designed to empower clients to pursue meaningful change at their own pace.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Sharon often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to help clients clarify personal values and build psychological flexibility so they can pursue meaningful goals despite difficult thoughts or feelings. She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness are priorities.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sharon works with each client to consider needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt methods over time so the treatment plan aligns with what feels most useful and realistic for the person seeking help.

Online sessions are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which supports flexible scheduling and access from different locations in Florida. These options allow continuity of care and make it easier to maintain regular contact with a licensed professional while fitting therapy into a busy life.
