Mildred Sellars, LCSW

Mildred Sellars is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and addictions. She has more than 21 years of experience and focuses on practical support for everyday problems. Mildred writes and talks plainly in sessions and aims to make therapy approachable for worried parents and busy adults.

She earned her Master of Social Work from the University of Central Florida. Her background includes work on crisis units, in-home support, residential programs, schools, and community mental health settings. That variety shaped her comfort with sudden changes and complex situations.

Mildred has worked with people experiencing severe mental illness, foster children and foster parents, adolescents, and families. She has supported people through grief and loss, career transitions, parenting stressors, and relationship challenges. These experiences inform how she notices practical needs in everyday life.

Her style is empathetic and approachable, using a client-centered stance that follows each person’s priorities. She focuses on listening first, then offering tools and strategies drawn from evidence-based approaches. Sessions emphasize dignity, respect, and small steps toward change.

People who choose Mildred can expect straightforward conversation, routines that fit family life, and collaboration on goals. She aims to help people manage emotions, rebuild routines, and develop clearer communication at home and work.

Approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how relationships shape feelings and behavior and helps people build safer, steadier connections in relationships and parenting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) finds links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which is often helpful for depression and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mildred will listen to your needs and goals, then suggest techniques from these approaches. The choice is collaborative and can change as you progress or face different challenges.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow check-ins between appointments when needed. They also let people work on relationship skills and emotion coping from familiar routines. Talk with Mildred during the first appointment about what will fit your daily life and goals.
