Mildred Sellars, LCSW

Mildred Sellars is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, and trauma and abuse. She offers a calm, approachable presence and focuses on each person's needs in simple, straightforward ways. Mildred aims to make therapy feel understandable and practical for people juggling busy lives and strong emotions.

She earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Central Florida and brings 21 years of practice in a range of settings. That experience includes crisis units, residential programs, home-based services, schools, and community mental health. She has worked with people facing severe mental illness, foster care situations, adolescents, and families.

Mildred uses a client-centered style that centers the person's goals and preferences. She also draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to tailor sessions. In practice this means exploring values, testing manageable behavior changes, and improving emotional regulation skills.

Her background includes helping people with parenting stress, grief and loss, career changes, and the everyday strain of relationships. She has experience supporting people with mood disorders, addiction concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Mildred focuses on concrete steps people can try between sessions.

People working with her can expect direct listening, respect, and an emphasis on practical coping strategies. To begin, visitors follow the site process to match with a therapist and schedule a session based on availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they can work online

Mildred uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values, accept difficult feelings, and take action toward meaningful goals. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where values-based choices matter.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to change them. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping with everyday challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mildred will collaborate with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation shapes which techniques are emphasized in sessions and what practical exercises are assigned between meetings.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists can teach behavioral exercises, guide exposure work, and support emotion regulation just as they do in person, while tailoring pacing and homework to fit each person's life.
