About Sharon
Sharon Mortimer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 43 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship concerns, and family-related issues. Sharon combines long experience with straightforward, practical care.
Sharon uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy as one of her main approaches alongside client-centered, cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, and mindfulness therapies. She adapts these approaches to the needs a person brings to a session and aims to help people identify and name hard emotions. Sessions concentrate on what is happening now and on small changes that can reduce distress.
Sharon describes herself as an attentive listener and clear communicator. She has worked with many populations over the decades and gives particular attention to the impact of abuse on a person’s life. She often helps people who want to interrupt destructive patterns that repeat across generations.
Her approach is practical and flexible. She supports people who want to understand communication breakdowns, manage intense emotions, or rebuild steadier routines after trauma. She also works with issues such as guilt, shame, isolation, and problems that affect mood and daily functioning.
Sharon welcomes people who are ready to take steps toward change. She guides conversations about goals and next steps, and she helps people plan manageable actions between sessions. She works in English and accepts international clients.
How Sharon’s approaches work for online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and work with strong emotions and relationship patterns. In sessions, this can look like noticing patterns of interaction and practicing new ways of expressing needs that reduce conflict or distance. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s perspective and uses listening and reflection to help people find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical changes in behavior to reduce anxiety, depression, or mood problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Sharon will talk with each person about goals, try out approaches that fit the concern, and adjust methods as needed. That collaborative process helps match techniques to what is actually helping in daily life.
