About Sharon
Sharon Toldson is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Clinician (LMHC) with 19 years of experience. She helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strains, family conflict, and the practical fallout of life changes. Sharon also works with trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and ADHD-related difficulties.
Her approach is direct and practical. She uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside relational methods like the Gottman Method. Sessions focus on learning specific skills, testing new ways of handling conflict, and building clearer boundaries. Conversations are straightforward, with concrete strategies to try between meetings.
Sharon applies experience gained in clinical settings to help people manage cravings, navigate a partner's drinking or moods, and reduce people-pleasing behaviors that cost them personally. Work can include coaching through parenting challenges, handling compassion fatigue, and sorting out attachment patterns that repeat in relationships.
She frames therapy as practical problem-solving and values steady progress over quick fixes. Expect to practice skills, reflect on patterns, and set small, achievable goals. Sharon invites clients to notice what works, adjust when needed, and build routines that fit daily life.
Sessions are conducted in English and are based in Florida. The subscription model used for sessions can be canceled at any time, and potential clients are asked to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first meeting to begin.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts. It is useful for anxiety, grief, and feeling stuck when people keep putting others first. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so people can test unhelpful beliefs and try new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can help with anger, panic, and intense relationship patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will look at the person’s goals, routines, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they choose strategies to try, then adjust based on what fits the client’s life and priorities.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, use shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. They also allow practicing new communication skills in the contexts where they actually happen. A licensed professional will outline the session structure and suggest a pace that fits daily responsibilities.
