About Teodoro
Teodoro Anderson Diaz is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Connecticut with 20 years of experience. He holds a Master of Social Work from Springfield College. He speaks English and Spanish and offers help for people dealing with anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, and anger.
He has practiced in a range of settings and brings a patient-centered, evidence-informed mindset to sessions. He uses straightforward conversation to identify what feels most pressing.
Background and approach
Then he helps people try practical steps that match their goals and values. Teodoro draws on several approaches to shape care. He uses client-centered work to listen and build trust.
He applies cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons for change. He also uses narrative and existential ideas to help people make sense of difficult experiences.
These approaches can be useful when coping with grief, identity questions, immigration stress, or career shifts. First responder concerns and multicultural issues are among his additional focus areas. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and are structured to meet each person where they are.
Teodoro prefers a collaborative pace - listening first, then working together on practical strategies. That makes it easier for people to try new ways of managing stress, relationships, or day-to-day triggers.
Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Teodoro commonly blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral work and motivational interviewing during online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on active listening and building a trusting conversation so a person can explore feelings and priorities. Cognitive behavioral work looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and tries practical experiments to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. Motivational interviewing helps people clarify their own reasons for change and strengthens commitment when facing addictions or other behavior shifts.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Teodoro will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different ideas. Together they decide whether to emphasize listening, skill-building, values work, or a mix of methods so the plan fits real life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work for shorter check-ins, quick coping tools, or when scheduling needs more flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or travel schedules.
