About Theresa
Theresa Grodi-Kennon is a licensed clinical social worker who offers steady, practical support for people coping with stress, anger, anxiety, and life changes. She draws on more than two decades of experience in mental health and keeps sessions focused on clear goals and daily skills. She spent many years working in psychiatric hospitals with teens and adults.
In recent years she has run a personal outpatient practice helping community members manage depression, grief, relationship strain, and obsessive or self-defeating patterns.
Background and approach
That background gives her familiarity with both crisis care and ongoing therapy. Theresa centers her work on listening closely and helping clients name what they feel. She uses problem solving, new coping habits, and thought reframing to reduce overwhelm and restore balance.
Clients can expect straightforward feedback and practical steps to try between meetings. When anger or stress get in the way of daily life she helps people notice patterns and build alternatives. She also supports those dealing with grief, caregiver burnout, body image struggles, and transitions such as divorce or midlife changes.
Her approach is warm and nonjudgmental, with an emphasis on gradual progress. Theresa brings Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral tools, psychodynamic perspective, and emotionally focused ideas into her work. She partners with each person to set realistic goals, reinforce strengths, and create a foundation for calmer decision making.
Theresa practices in Florida and offers sessions in English. She encourages people who are ready to try therapy to take the first step and start rebuilding confidence and balance.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Theresa commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take meaningful action aligned with their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, anger, or depression.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Theresa discusses goals and preferences with each person and tailors methods to what feels most useful. She views therapy as a collaborative effort and adjusts strategies as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video sessions work well for deeper conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Messaging and live chat allow frequent, brief contact and tracking small steps between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy daily routines while still working on anger, grief, stress, and other concerns.
