About Sharon
Sharon Toldson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 19 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship and family problems, grief, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and life changes.
She uses practical, goal-oriented work in sessions. Conversations focus on current problems and on testing small changes between meetings. Sharon draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when those approaches fit a person's goals.
Clients can expect clear, structured sessions. Sharon talks through specific thoughts, habits, and reactions and helps people try different responses. She also addresses attachment issues, blended family stress, codependency, communication problems, and substance-related concerns when relevant.
Sharon has worked with people coping with trauma, post-traumatic stress, panic attacks, seasonal mood shifts, and the stresses faced by veterans and armed forces members. She also supports clients struggling with guilt, forgiveness, life purpose, and women's issues.
Her style is practical and straightforward. Sessions are organized around measurable steps and short-term skills people can use in everyday life. Sharon adapts approaches based on what the person is trying to change and how they respond to early work in therapy.
How her approaches translate to online work
Sharon commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which often involves clear homework and brief experiments to try between sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify values and take committed actions even when hard thoughts or feelings are present. Dialectical Behavior Therapy contributes practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Sharon will work collaboratively to figure out which methods match a person's goals and preferences, and she adjusts what she uses based on how the person responds to early work in therapy.
Confirm the session formats available before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow focused skill practice between meetings. Some formats may be better for shorter check-ins or for sessions when video is not needed, so ask about the options when you schedule.
