About Sharon
Sharon Mortimer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 43 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self‑esteem, depression, addictions, relationship concerns, and family issues. Sharon also lists guilt and shame among her focus areas and includes a range of other concerns such as grief around divorce and separation, domestic violence, and multicultural matters.

Sharon aims to adapt her methods to the situation at hand and to the practical needs of the person in front of her. Sessions typically involve listening, reflecting, and working through thoughts and patterns that keep someone stuck.
Sharon has long experience helping people affected by abuse and understands how past harm can shape current feelings and behavior. She describes working alongside people as they look at destructive generational patterns and the effects of trauma. Practical skills and clearer ways to communicate often appear in her work.
Her style emphasizes straightforward conversation and problem solving. She helps people identify unhelpful thinking, try different responses, and practice new ways of coping. For those carrying guilt or shame, she focuses on understanding how these feelings developed and what small steps might shift daily life.
Sharon practices in Florida and conducts work in English. She has worked across varied populations over her career and accepts international clients who wish to work with her. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before booking.
How Sharon’s approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person leads the work; online sessions can keep that same conversational rhythm and allow space to bring what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and behaviors and uses concrete exercises and homework to test new ways of responding; that structure adapts well to remote sessions where notes and exercises can be reviewed together. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation and practical skills training to manage intense feelings and relationship patterns, which can be taught in short steps and practiced between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sharon will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities rather than imposing a single technique. That means checking in about what helps and changing course when needed.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow for shorter check-ins on high‑stress days, and let people use quieter surroundings or lower‑bandwidth connections when needed. Practical tools like worksheets, breathing and mindfulness exercises, and simple behavioral experiments are easy to share and follow up on between meetings.
