About Sharon
Sharon Toldson is a Florida licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, parenting challenges, and relationship strain. She draws on nearly two decades of clinical experience to offer steady, practical support. Sharon speaks plainly and prioritizes respect and sensitivity when people first reach out.
She focuses on making conversations useful from the start. Sharon works with each person to set realistic goals and to build small, doable steps toward change.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to mix skills practice with direct talk about the situations creating the most pressure in day-to-day life. Sharon uses several therapeutic approaches that emphasize action and skill building. She checks in about what is working and what is not, and adjusts plans so they fit a person’s life.
This helps clients manage symptoms, rebuild trust, and handle family and relationship difficulties more clearly. Given her background, Sharon often helps people struggling with grief, trauma, compulsive behaviors, anger, or low self-esteem. She also supports those facing career doubt, compassion fatigue, and questions about life purpose.
Her way of working is steady and goal-oriented, but warm and accepting. Sessions are tailored to individual needs and paced to match what each person can handle. Sharon encourages honest conversation about progress and setbacks so goals stay realistic and achievable.

Approaches that translate well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and making behavior changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going, which can help with depression, panic, and anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which many people find helpful when stress or relationships feel overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with a person about their goals, try different methods when needed, and adjust the plan as progress is observed. Collaboration helps find what feels most practical and doable for each person.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work when internet is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send updates or ask quick questions between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, and busy days while still practicing skills and tracking progress.
