About Mildred

Mildred Sellars is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who aims to help people deal with everyday pressures and relationship concerns. She brings a steady, approachable presence to sessions and focuses on listening first to understand what matters most to each person. Mildred often helps with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, depression, and jealousy-related concerns among many other struggles. She earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Central Florida and has worked in crisis units, residential settings, schools, and community mental health programs. Mildred has supported people with severe mental illness, adolescents, foster children and foster parents, and those navigating major life changes. That background shapes how she responds to sharp emotions and sudden transitions. Mildred grounds her work in a client-centered approach, prioritizing the client’s goals and values in each session. She also uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and take small, values-guided steps. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are woven in when regulation and distress tolerance are needed. People can expect a direct but warm style. Mildred treats each person with dignity and respect and focuses on practical next steps between sessions. She also brings a long-term perspective, drawing on 21 years of practice to tailor support to each situation. She works in English and practices in Florida as an LCSW. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before booking.

Approaches that translate to online work

Mildred uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people name what matters to them and take small guided steps toward those values even when difficult feelings are present. This approach often helps with stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That work can clarify why certain relationship dynamics feel familiar and point toward new ways of connecting. Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Mildred collaborates with clients to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She will check in as treatment progresses and adjust techniques based on what is most helpful. Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand them, or let someone avoid video when they prefer a phone conversation. Talk with Mildred about what will work best for daily life and the goals you want to address.
