About Sharon
Florida LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) with 19 years of experience. Sharon Toldson helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career questions, depression, ADHD, and related issues. She uses practical talk and evidence-based approaches to address everyday problems.
Toldson focuses on concrete skills and clear goals. Sessions tend to involve direct discussion of current problems, development of coping skills, and planning small behavior changes. She uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Existential Therapy, and the Gottman Method to guide those conversations.
Clients can expect a straightforward style that outlines steps to try between meetings. The work often includes noticing difficult thoughts and feelings, learning new ways to respond, and practicing communication or coping skills. There is an emphasis on choosing actions that match a person’s values and life goals.
Her background includes almost two decades working with addiction and relationship challenges, and with people recovering from trauma and grief. That experience informs practical strategies for substance use, codependency, family conflict, and post-traumatic stress reactions.
Because she lists multiple evidence-based approaches, Sharon adapts methods to the issue at hand. Conversations move from problem identification to small, doable experiments. Progress is tracked through changes in behavior, mood, and daily functioning.

How her therapeutic approaches are used in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on clarifying values and committing to small actions that move a person toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replaces them with practical strategies to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and effective interpersonal behavior, which can be useful for managing anger, intense emotions, and relationship conflicts. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate to pick methods that match a person’s concerns, goals, and preferences. Early sessions typically review the problem, try a few techniques, and decide together which methods feel most useful. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people practice skills in the settings where problems occur, which can make therapy work more directly with daily life.Sheet 3
