About Theresa
Theresa Grodi-Kennon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 21 years in mental health care. She brings steady support for people worn down by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, sleep problems, and life transitions. Theresa uses practical listening and problem-solving to help clients regain a sense of balance and hope.
She has a long background in psychiatric hospital settings and later moved into outpatient and private practice work in Florida. That breadth of experience informs how she reads difficult moments and offers straightforward guidance. Theresa emphasizes collaboration - she listens first, then helps set achievable steps forward.
Sessions focus on identifying burdens, labeling emotions, and building new coping habits. Theresa frames change as a series of small, sustainable shifts rather than dramatic overnight fixes. She often supports people who feel stuck, exhausted, or unsure how to rebuild confidence after loss or setback.
Theresa draws on several therapeutic approaches to match what feels most useful to each person. She may use acceptance-based strategies, cognitive techniques to shift unhelpful thinking, or emotionally focused work to clarify and process feelings. These methods are adapted to the client’s goals and pace.
Many clients come to address parenting strain, relationship stress, career overwhelm, ADHD challenges, or chronic worry and anger. Theresa also works with concerns like caregiver stress, body image, and midlife changes. Her approach is practical, steady, and aimed at helping people regain function and meaningful connection.
Approaches for online work and practical support
Theresa uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that are straightforward and goal oriented. ACT helps people name what matters to them and practice small actions that match those values. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, low mood, and sleep disruption.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where a person can feel heard. That approach emphasizes empathy and listening so clients can explore feelings at their own pace and make decisions that fit their life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Theresa will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest methods that match those needs. Together they try ideas, notice what helps, and adjust the plan over time.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins on hectic days, and let someone keep therapy going when travel or local appointments are difficult. Therapists help clients use each session to focus on sleep routines, coping skills, or communication practice so progress connects to daily life.
