About Mardi
Mardi Mitchell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life changes. She offers calm, steady support for everyday struggles and longer-term challenges. Her approach is straightforward and focused on practical steps clients can use between sessions.
Mardi brings 25 years of experience working with a wide range of concerns. She helps people dealing with compassion fatigue, addictions, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, anger, and career stress.
Background and approach
She also addresses issues such as abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and end-of-life concerns. Sessions emphasize a collaborative plan. She starts by listening to what matters most and then helps set clear, manageable goals.
Therapy combines active problem-solving and skills practice with supportive listening so clients can try different strategies and see what helps. Mardi uses familiar therapeutic methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, client-centered work, and mindfulness techniques. These are introduced in plain terms and adapted to the client’s needs rather than offered as fixed packages.
Clients can expect practical tools to reduce distress and clearer ways to handle tough moments. Mardi aims to make therapy feel usable and relevant to daily life, with attention to what each person needs right now.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small actions that match those values. It helps when worry or avoidance gets in the way of living the life you want.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It teaches practical strategies to change patterns that keep problems going, so people can reduce anxiety or depression and improve daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mardi will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them based on what fits and what produces progress.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice and deeper dialogue. Phone sessions are a good fit when video is difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skill reminders, and ongoing encouragement between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and integrated into everyday routines.
