About Sharon
Sharon Toldson is a Florida LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Clinician with 19 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and life changes that often come up in young adulthood.
Sharon helps people who are wrestling with grief, trauma, anger, low self-esteem, and career uncertainty. She also supports clients dealing with parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related challenges. Her focus includes practical issues such as communication problems, codependency, and blended family dynamics.
Her approach mixes evidence-based methods with straightforward conversation. Sharon uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thinking. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing strong emotions and building flexible coping strategies.
Sessions are usually a blend of talking and hands-on exercises. Sharon works with clients to set clear goals and practices to try between meetings. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where people learn skills they can use outside the session.
Clients can expect direct feedback and short-term strategies alongside deeper work on patterns and life choices. Sharon brings nearly two decades of clinical experience in Florida to help people navigate the messy, confusing parts of early adulthood and beyond.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Sharon uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thought patterns that influence mood and behavior and to practice concrete alternatives. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also part of her work; it focuses on clarifying values and taking committed actions even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings appear. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills may be used for emotion regulation and improving interpersonal effectiveness when stress or strong emotions feel overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sharon will discuss your goals and preferences in early sessions and adapt methods as needed. The aim is to find approaches that fit your life and that you can use between meetings, not to force a single method from the start.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings around work, school, or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed, or reduce time spent commuting so skill practice and appointments are simpler to schedule.
