About Mildred

Mildred Sellars is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Florida who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, depression, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With 21 years of experience across crisis units, schools, residential programs, community mental health settings, and home-based care, she draws on a wide clinical background supporting adolescents, families, foster children and parents, and individuals facing severe mental illness or major life changes.

Her work frequently covers parenting stress, career concerns, intimacy and relationship challenges, addiction-related struggles, and compassion fatigue, and she includes attention to ADHD among her areas of focus. Mildred’s style is grounded in empathy and approachability; she centers the client’s needs, treating each person with dignity and respect while tailoring interventions to the situation.

She combines evidence-based methods with a collaborative, client-centered stance to address symptoms and practical life concerns. Clients can expect a practitioner who values clear communication and steady support through difficult transitions.

Mildred aims to help people build coping skills, improve communication, and navigate complex emotional issues so they can move forward with greater clarity and resilience.

Evidence-based approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present; it is often used for stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness and can be helpful when strong emotions or relationship challenges interfere with daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Mildred works with clients to explore goals, preferences, and challenges, then tailors techniques from these modalities to fit the person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online work with this clinician is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These remote options make it easier to access consistent support, practice skills between sessions, and maintain continuity of care during life transitions or when attending in-person appointments is difficult.
