About Sharon
Sharon Toldson is a Florida LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) with 19 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting challenges, career questions, and issues around life purpose. Sharon also helps with trauma and abuse, depression, anger, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. She uses talk therapy combined with structured methods to help people handle difficult moments and decisions. Sessions focus on skills you can try between meetings and clear steps for managing symptoms or moving toward a new direction.
Sharon commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy to address thoughts, emotions, and behavior. She also uses existential ideas to help people reflect on meaning and the choices they face. The Gottman Method is part of her toolkit when relationship communication and conflict resolution are the focus.
In sessions she will talk through patterns that keep someone stuck and practice alternative ways of responding. That can include breaking down overwhelming problems into manageable actions, practicing emotion regulation skills, or identifying values to guide decisions about work, family, or recovery from addiction.
Her background includes long-term clinical work supporting adults with addiction and family dysfunction. Sharon keeps language plain and interventions concrete so people can use what they learn right away. To get started she asks a few simple questions and then schedules the first appointment.
Therapeutic approaches used in online work
Sharon commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) in her clinical work. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and building new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. ACT emphasizes noticing internal experiences and taking action based on personal values, which can help when someone is deciding what matters after a life change.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals, what has helped or not helped before, and the types of exercises they prefer. That collaborative process guides whether CBT, ACT, elements of dialectical behavior therapy, or relationship-focused methods are used.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins on stressful days, or reduce travel time around work and family commitments. Licensed professionals can use these formats to keep continuity of care while focusing on practical skills and values-based decisions.
