About Sharon

Sharon Toldson is a Florida-based licensed mental health clinician (LMHC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, family concerns, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, career questions, depression, and compassion fatigue. Sharon combines practical tools with steady support to help clients take steps toward change.

She shapes conversations and plans around each person's needs. Sessions focus on concrete strategies and learning skills that can be used between meetings. Sharon emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every interaction. She encourages clients to name small goals and track progress at a manageable pace.

Her methods draw from several well-known approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She also uses existential ideas and some Gottman Method concepts for relationship work. These approaches are used to help people notice patterns, build coping skills, and rethink goals for a more meaningful life.

Sharon has nearly two decades of experience in clinical settings. She tailors the pace and focus of work to each client, whether that means short-term coaching or longer therapeutic exploration. She invites people to bring what matters to them and to move toward growth with clear, realistic steps.

Approach and online therapy options

Sharon uses several evidence-informed approaches to help people manage change and distress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and problematic habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people accept difficult emotions while clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward those values. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings become intense.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sharon will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and daily life. She discusses what to expect, tries different strategies, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
