Theresa Grodi-Kennon, LCSW

Theresa Grodi-Kennon is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 21 years in mental health care. She has worked in psychiatric hospitals and in outpatient private practice. Theresa focuses on helping people manage depression, anxiety, grief, and the daily stresses that wear them down. She aims to help clients regain energy, confidence, and a clearer sense of self.

Theresa uses practical talk and collaborative problem solving in sessions. She listens, helps label feelings, and offers ways to reframe troubling thoughts. She works with tools drawn from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to teach new coping skills and habits.

Her background includes long experience with adolescents, teens, and adults in inpatient settings and more recent work in community outpatient care. That mix means she is familiar with crisis care and with steady, ongoing support outside the hospital. She also has experience helping people through grief and caregiver stress.

Theresa describes her appointment style as nonjudgmental, encouraging, and team-oriented. Sessions typically include problem solving, resource recommendations, and focused listening. She helps people take practical steps to return to balance and rebuild confidence.

People who reach out can expect a straightforward approach: an empathic listener who offers concrete strategies, pacing based on individual needs, and encouragement to try new habits. She practices in Florida and conducts work in English.

How Theresa’s approaches translate to online care

Theresa draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with health challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors, which often helps with depression, sleep issues, and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Theresa works together with people to pick methods that match their needs and goals. She will suggest adjustments as needed and invite feedback so the plan evolves with progress and preferences.

The exact online session options are not listed in the biography, so please confirm available formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people maintain continuity of care when schedules or locations change. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT techniques to virtual work through conversation, thought records, and at-home practice tasks.
