About Sharon
Sharon Toldson is a Florida licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, and relationship or family concerns. She uses straightforward conversation and practical tools to help people get through hard moments. Sharon emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and steady support while working toward changes clients want to make.
She adapts sessions to fit each person’s needs, tailoring the dialogue and plan rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Sharon draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral methods and acceptance-oriented work to tackle unhelpful thoughts and build values-driven action.
Background and approach
She also uses skills-based strategies from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. Sharon has nearly two decades of clinical experience and brings that background to everyday problems like parenting stress, career uncertainty, grief, and coping with life changes. She also addresses trauma, post-traumatic stress, panic attacks, and substance use with practical steps and steady collaboration.
Additional focuses include attachment and communication problems, codependency, and forgiveness work. Sessions aim to be practical and grounded. Conversations include goal-setting, skill practice, and check-ins on progress.
Sharon frames therapy as a partnership where clients help set priorities and decide what moves feel most useful. She offers services from Florida and conducts sessions in English. People who want to start are invited to begin the intake process and match with scheduling that fits their situation.
Approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to small actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, life changes, and low mood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, often using short exercises and homework to reduce symptoms like panic or depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication, which can help with anger, relationship strain, and stress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit those aims. Over a few sessions they check what helps and adjust the plan together so work stays focused and practical.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into daily life. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text is helpful for brief check-ins, coaching-style messages, or when a shorter touchpoint is needed. These options give flexibility to schedule around work, parenting, or travel while keeping consistent progress.
