About Mildred

Mildred Sellars is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 21 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, parenting strain, and life transitions. Mildred also lists blended family issues and attachment problems among her focus areas.

She trained with a Master of Social Work and has worked in crisis units, community mental health, residential programs, schools, and in-home settings. That range means she is familiar with acute stress and longer term struggles. Mildred has experience supporting people with severe mental illness, foster care situations, and grief and loss.

Her approach centers on client-centered work and practical therapy methods. She uses techniques drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Attachment-Based approaches. Sessions emphasize clear goals, skill practice, and problem-solving rather than jargon.

Mildred often helps people sort out parenting stress, adjust to new household roles, and deal with relationship and communication problems. She also supports people coping with addiction, ADHD, career concerns, and compassion fatigue. For many clients the work focuses on small, concrete changes that fit everyday life.

People who choose Mildred can expect steady, down-to-earth sessions that aim to identify patterns and build coping strategies. She asks questions, listens for what matters, and offers tools to try between meetings. To begin, visitors are asked to use the online intake and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches used and what to expect online

Mildred draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify values and take small committed actions even when feelings are difficult. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and making life changes by focusing on what matters rather than trying to eliminate uncomfortable feelings.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. This approach helps people understand trust, closeness, and repeated reactions in relationships, which can be useful when blending households or adjusting to new parenting roles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mildred will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means experimenting with practical skills, reflecting on what helps, and adjusting the plan together as needs change.

Session logistics and formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists often use these sessions to practice communication skills, problem-solve household routines, and build coping strategies that can be tried between meetings.
