Mardi Mitchell, LCSW

Mardi Mitchell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 25 years of practice. She works with adults who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, caregiving demands, and patterns like codependency. Her approach is practical and straightforward.

Mardi uses methods grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness. Sessions focus on clear goals. She helps people notice unhelpful patterns, make small changes, and practice new skills between visits.

Her work often addresses caregiver stress, burnout, addiction concerns, family of origin issues, and challenges around abandonment and dependent personality traits. She also supports people facing chronic illness, aging issues, end-of-life decisions, and grief.

Mardi favors a client-centered stance. That means she listens first, then collaborates on a plan people can actually use. She mixes talking, practical exercises, and skills practice so what happens in sessions connects to everyday life.

People can expect focus on problem identification, goal setting, and concrete steps to reduce distress. Mardi draws on motivational interviewing when people are weighing change. She also uses mindfulness tools to help with emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

Her style is steady and pragmatic. She helps people sort priorities, strengthen boundaries, and build methods to manage anxiety, sleep problems, or compulsive caretaking. For those managing grief, chronic pain, or caregiver roles, she addresses both emotional needs and daily functioning.
