About Theresa
Theresa Grodi-Kennon is a licensed clinical social worker with 21 years of experience in mental health. She practices in Florida and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions.

She spent many years working in psychiatric hospitals with adolescents and adults. More recently she has run a personal outpatient practice supporting community members.
Background and approach
That mix of acute-care and outpatient experience shapes how she assesses concerns and plans next steps. Theresa emphasizes practical tools alongside steady emotional support. Sessions often include problem solving, new coping skills, and reframing unhelpful thoughts.
She aims to help people rebuild confidence and return to a more balanced daily routine. Grief and loss work is a clear focus. She uses empathy and concrete strategies to help people process survivor feelings and rebuild after loss.
Theresa also addresses relationship stress, parenting strain, sleep problems, anger, and self-esteem issues. Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered listening, emotionally-focused ideas, and psychodynamic thinking. Theresa works collaboratively to set goals and pick methods that fit each person’s situation.
She asks questions, listens closely, and offers resources clients can use between sessions.
How Theresa’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then clarify values and take small actions toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing them with practical behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and improve sleep and mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens and reflects so clients can find their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Theresa will talk with clients about goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust over time. The work is conversational and goal-oriented, and clients help shape what happens in sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone is useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging let people share updates or get quick coaching between sessions. These options make scheduling easier and let people keep therapy consistent amid busy family, work, and health demands.
