About Mardi
Mardi Mitchell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 25 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and big life changes. She also supports people facing compassion fatigue, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma, sleep and eating issues, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, and career questions.
Her approach centers on working together to clarify what matters and what feels out of balance. She uses concrete conversations to identify immediate problems and practical next steps. Treatment plans are made collaboratively and focused on measurable goals and everyday coping skills.
Mardi draws from several evidence-based methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters and make values-based choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness techniques help with emotion regulation and stress management.
She also brings a client-centered stance that prioritizes the person’s voice in sessions. This means listening closely, reflecting what’s happening, and adjusting the plan as progress is made. She will suggest skills, exercises, and small behavioral experiments to try between sessions.
Mardi has worked with caregiving and end-of-life concerns, abandonment and attachment wounds, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and family-of-origin issues. Her practice emphasizes steady, practical steps toward greater day-to-day functioning. If someone is unsure where to begin, she helps narrow the focus into the next manageable action.
How her approaches translate to online work
Mardi commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions. ACT helps people notice their values and take actions that align with those values, which can be useful when deciding what comes next after a life change. CBT offers concrete tools to identify and change thinking and behavior patterns that keep someone stuck.She also uses DBT-informed and mindfulness techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and present-moment awareness. These approaches can reduce overwhelm and make it easier to try new behaviors between sessions. Each method focuses on skills that can be practiced in day-to-day life and reviewed in follow-up meetings.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they pick strategies to try and adjust them as progress is tracked.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work and family routines, reduce commute time, and allow for shorter check-ins or weekday appointments when needed. These practical benefits often help people maintain continuity while they test new ways of handling stress and change.
