About Mardi
Mardi Mitchell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence and focuses on what each person needs now. Sessions are practical and aimed at things that make daily life easier.
Mardi uses a client-centered stance to listen first and then plan together. She helps people name the problems that cause the most distress.
Background and approach
From there she and the client set clear, realistic goals and build steps to reach them. Her work often includes skills training for managing strong feelings, thinking patterns, and unhelpful behaviors. She draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and acceptance strategies to create tools people can use between sessions.
Mardi also supports those facing caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, loss, and relationship challenges. She addresses issues like codependency, guilt, shame, abandonment, and end-of-life concerns in straightforward terms. The emphasis is on coping strategies that fit each person’s life.
People who come to Mardi can expect a steady, practical guide rather than quick fixes. She partners with clients to track progress and adjust plans as life shifts. The work is collaborative, focused, and paced to each person’s readiness.
Practical approaches for online anxiety and stress work
Mardi often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches concrete skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep issues. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action while accepting uncomfortable thoughts and feelings, which can reduce the push-pull around strong emotions.Choosing the right approach is something Mardi treats as a team effort. She listens to what matters to the client, talks through goals, and then suggests methods to try. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan over time so the work fits the person's life and priorities.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for deeper conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins, grounded exercises, or work between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep progress steady.
