About Mildred

Mildred Sellars is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 21 years of clinical experience. She sees adults coping with stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, depression, major life changes, addictions, and concerns around intimacy and parenting. Mildred also lists work with LGBT issues, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue among her focus areas.

She trained with a Master of Social Work from the University of Central Florida and has provided services in crisis units, residential programs, schools, community mental health settings, and in clients' homes. That range informs a practical approach to day-to-day problems. Mildred has experience supporting people facing grief, career transitions, parenting stress, and foster care or adoption-related concerns.

Mildred describes her method as client-centered, which means she aims to put the person’s needs first and respond to what matters most in each session. She also uses evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioral strategies, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based thinking, and elements of dialectical behavior work. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings.

Conversations in appointments are straightforward. She pays attention to practical coping skills, communication patterns, and how past relationships shape current choices. Mildred helps people name problems, set small goals, and practice skills that fit their daily lives.

She provides services in English and does not take international clients. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled through the online options button.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Mildred uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify values, and take small steps toward what matters. ACT can be useful for stress, life transitions, and uncertainty about purpose.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach can help people understand intimacy issues, commitment concerns, and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mildred will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining practical CBT strategies with acceptance-based exercises or attachment-informed conversations.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel to an office. Therapists can use video for deeper conversation or audio for lower bandwidth and quieter sessions. Discuss format preferences when scheduling so sessions match daily routines and practical constraints.
