About Mardi
Mardi Mitchell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of experience helping people manage stress, grief, anxiety, and parenting concerns. She speaks plainly and listens carefully so parents can talk through what is worrying them. Sessions aim to feel like a steady, practical conversation rather than a test.
Mardi uses a client-centered stance to tailor care to each person's situation. She and the client build simple goals together and choose tools that fit day-to-day life.
Background and approach
Those tools might include mindfulness exercises, behavior-focused strategies, or values-based work. Her background includes long experience supporting people through loss, caregiver strain, addiction, and chronic health challenges. That history informs clear steps for coping with change and strong emotional moments.
She also works with concerns around sleep, eating, anger, and self-esteem. Therapy sessions often combine conversation with short skills practice. Clients may learn grounding techniques, behavioral experiments, and ways to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts.
The aim is steady progress you can use between visits. Mardi practices in Florida and offers services for people dealing with career strain, family-of-origin wounds, and end-of-life or hospice related concerns. She frames work around what a client wants to change and what fits into their life.
If you're a parent feeling overwhelmed or stuck, she offers calm, practical support to help you move forward.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed steps toward them while accepting difficult feelings. It can help when parenting feels overwhelming or when people face major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors with short exercises and homework that translate well to online sessions. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple awareness practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep, mood, and stress management. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and daily routines, and then suggest approaches that match those needs. Clients collaborate on which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on what helps most. Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when a shorter touchpoint is needed between full sessions. These options offer flexibility for parents balancing family, work, and appointments.Questions people ask about Mardi
