About Mardi
Mardi Mitchell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of experience helping people facing common life stresses. She focuses on practical steps that can ease anxiety, improve sleep, and help people manage grief or major life changes. Her style is warm and accepting, and she aims to make therapy feel straightforward and doable.
Clients can expect a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk about what matters most to them. Goals and plans are created together, using clear steps rather than vague promises. Sessions focus on solving problems that get in the way of day-to-day functioning, like low mood, relationship strain, or trouble sleeping.
Mardi uses several evidence-based approaches to tailor work to each person. She may draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and action, or mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and improve rest. Techniques are chosen to match the client's needs and goals.
Her background includes long experience with caregiver stress, codependency, chronic illness, and end-of-life concerns. That experience informs practical strategies for people juggling complex responsibilities. Mardi also supports those dealing with addiction, trauma, eating concerns, and work-related burnout.
Therapy with Mardi is collaborative and paced to suit each person. She meets clients where they are and helps them build small, achievable routines that improve sleep, mood, and daily functioning. Taking the first step is framed as a realistic move toward better balance.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Mardi commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in her work. CBT focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and then practicing different ways of thinking and acting to get better results. ACT helps people clarify what matters most to them and take steps toward those values even when emotions are difficult.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will listen to a person's goals, symptoms, and day-to-day routines and then recommend techniques that fit. Clients and therapist choose methods together and adjust them over time based on what helps the most.
If you are considering online work, confirm the session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to practice sleep routines and mindfulness exercises between meetings because sessions can be scheduled around real-life rhythms. Licensed professionals can tailor exercises and homework to the online setting so the work stays practical and goal focused.
