About Theresa
Theresa Grodi-Kennon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 21 years of experience in mental health. She has worked for many years in psychiatric hospitals and has run a private outpatient practice more recently. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, parenting strain, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, and other life changes.
Theresa draws on several approaches to help people get unburdened and regain routine. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and build practical coping skills. She also works from client-centered and emotionally focused perspectives to listen, reflect, and support clearer communication and stronger emotional awareness.
In sessions she focuses on problem solving, active listening, and offering resources clients can use between meetings. She often helps people reframe difficult feelings and develop new habits that fit daily life. She notes that small, consistent steps can restore balance, confidence, and a clearer sense of self.
Her background includes work with adolescents, teens, and adults in inpatient settings and outpatient care. That experience informs her approach to grief, caregiver stress, and transitions linked to aging, divorce, blended household challenges, and career or health changes.
Theresa works with adults who want practical strategies and steady support while they navigate change. She asks people to be open and honest about goals so sessions can focus on clear next steps and measurable progress.
How Theresa blends approaches for online work
Theresa draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice what matters, accept difficult feelings, and take small steps toward values-based actions. ACT can help when someone feels stuck by avoidance or worry, while CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and practicing new behaviors to reduce symptoms.She also uses client-centered ideas in her work, which means sessions often focus on listening, reflecting what the person says, and shaping goals together. Choosing an approach is collaborative - she will review options with each person and adjust methods based on the client's goals, preferences, and progress.
The practical benefits of working with a licensed professional online include fitting appointments into everyday schedules and keeping momentum between visits.
