About Theresa

Theresa Grodi-Kennon is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 21 years of experience in mental health care. She draws on long experience in psychiatric hospital settings and community outpatient practice to support people facing depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, ADHD, and related life stressors.

Background and approach

Her approach emphasizes rebuilding a stable foundation through practical coping skills, compassionate listening, and collaborative problem solving. Theresa creates a nonjudgmental, emotionally supportive environment where clients can explore long‑buried feelings, reframe unhelpful thoughts, and develop healthier habits.

She blends evidence‑based techniques with empathic validation to help people recover balance, confidence, and forward momentum after loss, relationship strain, career challenges, or ongoing mood concerns. Theresa encourages openness to change and partners with clients to identify goals and resources that fit their lives.

Working from Florida, she offers outpatient care shaped by decades of clinical work with adolescents, teens, and adults in inpatient and community settings. Her practice focuses on practical solutions and emotional healing so individuals can move from surviving to thriving.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care



Theresa integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her work. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and learning skills to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking meaningful action, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. CBT targets patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and teaches practical strategies to change thinking and build healthier habits, useful for mood, stress, and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Theresa works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their goals and preferences. She will discuss how different techniques might address presenting concerns and adjust the approach as progress and needs evolve.

Theresa offers online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats let clients fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care from different locations within Florida, and use shorter or more frequent touchpoints when helpful. The combination of evidence-based methods and flexible delivery aims to make meaningful change more attainable for those juggling work, family, and life demands.
