About Sharon
Sharon Toldson is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family struggles, and codependency. She brings a calm, respectful presence and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Sharon aims to make starting therapy feel doable, not overwhelming.
She works with each person to tailor conversations and plans to their needs. Sessions often involve learning coping skills, improving communication, and building clearer boundaries. Sharon supports people through life changes, grief, parenting challenges, career stress, and burnout.
Sharon uses a mix of approaches rather than a single method. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thinking, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take meaningful action, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. She also integrates existential perspectives and relationship work when helpful.
With 19 years of experience, Sharon focuses on straightforward strategies that fit into everyday life. She aims to help people make steady progress, one step at a time. Conversations are direct but compassionate, and plans are adjusted as needs change.
Sessions are delivered from Florida and are conducted in English. People should confirm current session options before booking. To begin, the directory process guides prospective clients through a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step.
Approaches that guide online work and goal-setting
Sharon uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood-related problems because it links thinking and behavior in practical steps.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small actions toward those values. ACT can help when people feel stuck or uncertain about next steps. Dialectical Behavior Therapy is part of her toolkit for learning emotion regulation and improving distress tolerance, skills that help during intense moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts plans over time based on what is working and what needs to change.
