About Teodoro

Teodoro Anderson Diaz brings two decades of clinical experience to his work as a licensed clinical social worker in Connecticut. He holds an MSW from Springfield College and is independently licensed as a clinical social worker (LCSW).

Background and approach

Over his career he has worked in a range of treatment settings and also holds a Connecticut license as an addiction counselor, which informs his approach to substance use concerns. His practice emphasizes a patient-centered, data-informed stance that blends several therapeutic traditions.

He offers support for depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger management, and substance-related issues, and also addresses a broad set of concerns including ADHD, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, and career or parenting stress. Teodoro provides services in both English and Spanish and accepts international clients.

Clients can expect work grounded in established methods such as client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral strategies, existential exploration, motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches. His background and bilingual capacity aim to meet multicultural needs and immigration-related concerns while remaining focused on practical steps toward the client's goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online access

Teodoro frequently uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening deeply and supporting each person to find their own understanding and solutions, helpful for issues like depression, anxiety, and relationship concerns. He also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a practical approach that examines patterns of thought and behavior to address symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Another tool in his repertoire is motivational interviewing, a collaborative conversation style designed to strengthen motivation for change and is often useful with substance use or ambivalence about life changes.

Finding the right combination of methods is an iterative process. He works together with clients to identify which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time so therapy remains relevant and goal-oriented.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different lifestyles and schedules. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care when travel, work, or other responsibilities make in-person visits difficult, and they allow for ongoing therapeutic work from wherever a client is located.
