About Mildred

Mildred Sellars is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life transitions. She works with individuals facing caregiving strain, aging and geriatric issues, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, and parenting challenges. Mildred uses a straightforward, respectful approach and aims to make therapy feel approachable and practical.

She earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Central Florida and brings 21 years of experience across crisis units, schools, residential programs, and community mental health settings. That background includes time supporting people with severe mental illness, foster parents and children, adolescents, and adults navigating major life changes.

In sessions she focuses on what matters most to the person in front of her. Mildred describes her style as empathetic and client-centered, listening first and then helping people set realistic goals. She uses evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral techniques and emotion-focused strategies to address thinking patterns and relationship dynamics.

Clients can expect practical tools for coping with stress, skill-building for communication and boundaries, and support through grief and transitions. Mildred also helps caregivers and older adults manage the strains that come with changing roles and health concerns. Her work emphasizes dignity, respect, and collaboration at each step.

To begin, she asks people to choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability. The subscription-based sessions can be canceled at any time.

How Mildred’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small, values-based steps despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and communication, and it can help with intimacy issues and caregiver stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing different responses to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mildred collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She listens to what a person hopes to change and adapts techniques so they are practical and relevant for everyday life.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, cut travel time, and allow short check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice new skills in their regular routines and bring real-life situations into sessions for coaching and problem solving.
