Theresa Grodi-Kennon

Theresa Grodi-Kennon is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who brings 21 years of experience in mental health to her work. She offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or life transitions. Her approach centers on understanding each person’s situation and helping them take manageable steps forward.

Theresa spent many years working in psychiatric hospitals with adolescents, teens, and adults, and more recently has worked in outpatient community practice. This background gives her experience with a wide range of concerns, including bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, anger, and ADHD. She also focuses on career-related stress, parenting challenges, and relationship concerns.

In sessions she creates a nonjudgmental, encouraging space. She listens, reflects, and helps people name difficult feelings. Together with clients she develops new coping skills, routines, and ways of thinking that reduce distress and build confidence.

Theresa uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She emphasizes problem solving, empathy, and practical tools that can be tried between sessions. She also helps people who are grieving to sort through survivor feelings and begin the process of healing.

Clients who choose Theresa can expect a collaborative, team-oriented style. She offers resources, helps identify goals, and supports steps toward balance and renewed motivation. People in Florida who want to begin can follow the platform steps to be matched and schedule a first appointment.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Theresa uses approaches that focus on values, present experience, and practical change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) concentrates on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and reflects what the person is experiencing.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Theresa will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best. She hears what matters to the client, sets shared goals, and adjusts strategies as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking. The practical benefits commonly mentioned include fitting sessions around work or family demands, reducing travel time, and making it easier to schedule shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions can also help people try new coping skills between meetings, while therapists and clients work together to track progress and adjust plans.
