Theresa Grodi-Kennon

Theresa Grodi-Kennon is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who helps people manage overwhelming stress and life changes. She brings 21 years of experience in mental health to conversations about anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strain, and related challenges.

She spent many years working in psychiatric hospitals with teens and adults. More recently she has provided outpatient care in private practice. That mix of settings means she is familiar with crisis care and the slower pace of community-based work.

In sessions she aims to create a nonjudgmental, encouraging space. Theresa listens, helps name difficult feelings, and works with people to reframe thoughts and try new habits. She focuses on practical problem solving and building coping skills that fit everyday life.

Theresa commonly addresses grief and loss, relationship and family concerns, sleep problems, anger, and caregiver stress. She also supports people facing midlife transitions, body image and self-esteem issues, and challenges linked to ADHD and bipolar disorder.

Her approach draws on several methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, psychodynamic ideas, and client-centered care. Theresa partners with each person to find what helps them regain balance and confidence.

Theresa practices in Florida and offers services in English. If someone wants to begin, they are asked to start the matching process and schedule based on therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and when someone feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and trying small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like low mood or sleep problems. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s goals and pace, offering empathy and support while the person finds their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That conversation guides which methods are used, and adjustments are made as therapy progresses so the plan fits the person’s needs.

Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time. Many people find it simpler to keep regular sessions around parenting, work breaks, or caregiving duties. Licensed professionals can discuss practical scheduling and format choices during the matching step so sessions work with day-to-day routines.
