AAbout
About Theresa
Theresa Grodi-Kennon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 21 years of experience in mental health. She has worked in psychiatric hospitals for more than 17 years and later ran a private practice providing outpatient care. She focuses on common life problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting, bipolar disorder, and trauma and abuse.
Theresa uses practical talk and problem solving to help people manage daily struggles. She listens, helps label feelings, and guides people toward small changes that add up. She supports clients in building coping skills, reworking unhelpful thought patterns, and restoring a clearer sense of self.
Her background includes inpatient psychiatric settings and community outpatient care. That mix informs how she assesses risk, plans treatment, and connects people with resources. She draws on a range of approaches to match the issue and the person rather than relying on a single method.
Sessions focus on concrete steps: identifying the most pressing concern, trying new coping strategies, and tracking progress over time. Theresa aims to be direct and practical while offering steady listening and problem-solving. She also has experience helping people through grief and loss and addressing the lasting effects of difficult experiences.
People who come to her often want to reduce symptoms, regain daily functioning, and rebuild routines. She encourages openness and straightforward work together to make manageable change.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps that match those values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so specific patterns can be tested and changed; it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and support so a person can lead the pace of change and feel understood while working through issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Theresa will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She may combine parts of different approaches and adjust plans as progress and priorities change.
Confirm available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can also adapt exercises and homework to digital sessions so real-life changes can be practiced between meetings.
