Mardi Mitchell, LCSW

Mardi Mitchell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 25 years of practice. She works with people managing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, compassion fatigue, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, sleep and eating issues, parenting stresses, anger, self-esteem and career problems.

She uses straightforward, goal-focused conversations to identify what feels most distressing. Sessions look at patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. She and the client set clear, practical steps to try between meetings and check progress regularly.

Mardi draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered methods. She also makes use of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness practices when helpful. These approaches are used to teach skills for handling strong emotions, changing unhelpful thinking, and building tolerable routines.

Her work often addresses long-standing family of origin issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, co-dependency and control struggles. She also supports people facing end-of-life concerns, forgiveness questions, shame, guilt, and feelings of emptiness.

Mardi frames therapy as a collaborative process. She encourages small experiments and practical skills practice that fit daily life. People who want structured help noticing thoughts and trying new responses often find this approach useful.
