About Mildred

Mildred Sellars is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and life transitions. She offers straightforward, compassionate support and focuses on everyday thoughts and habits that affect daily living. Mildred's approach is approachable and client-centered, with attention to what each person needs in the moment.

She holds a Master of Social Work from the University of Central Florida and brings 21 years of experience across settings. That work includes crisis units, home visits, residential programs, schools, and community mental health. She has supported people with severe mental illness, foster children and caregivers, adolescents, and individuals navigating grief, career decisions, and relationship challenges.

Mildred emphasizes practical skills alongside emotional support. She often uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioral ideas and acceptance-based work to help people notice thoughts and change everyday habits. She also draws on attachment-focused perspectives to address relationship and parenting concerns.

In sessions she aims to be warm and respectful, listening first and tailoring the plan to each person's needs. Mildred supports people through parenting stress, transitions between life stages, and the fallout from loss or trauma. Her style is calm and steady, focused on small changes that add up.

She welcomes questions about how therapy might fit into a family's routine and encourages prospective clients to describe what they hope to change before scheduling. Mildred works in English and practices in Florida as an LCSW.

How Mildred’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and life changes by focusing on valued steps more than perfect feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches concrete strategies to change patterns that cause distress. It can be useful for anxiety, mood, and stress-related concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current connections and can help with intimacy, parenting stress, and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mildred will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your situation. She collaborates with people to test ideas, adjust techniques, and focus on small habit changes that matter day to day.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, it can cut travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or let someone choose an interaction that requires less bandwidth. Talk with Mildred about what will work best for scheduling, camera use, and session length so therapy fits into your routine.
