About Mildred
Mildred Sellars is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 21 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, relationship concerns, parenting strain, and career questions.

She aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through what feels overwhelming and figure out workable steps forward.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work from the University of Central Florida. Mildred has worked in crisis units, residential programs, schools, homes, and community mental health settings. That variety shaped a practical way of helping people manage urgent problems and longer-term life transitions.
In sessions she uses a client-centered stance, listening first and tailoring support to each person’s needs. She draws on techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy when they fit the situation. Mildred focuses on dignity and respect in every meeting.
People often come to her when they face big changes, loss, or ongoing stress that affects daily life. She will help identify small, manageable moves to reduce distress and improve functioning. Mildred balances practical coaching with emotional support so goals feel achievable.
Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She invites people to describe what matters most and then works alongside them to make progress at a comfortable pace.
How treatment approaches shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to take steps toward a values-based life. It can help with anxiety, depression, and making decisions during life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches simpler ways to test and change unhelpful thinking. It often helps with anxiety, low mood, and stress-related problems.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. It can be useful when strong mood swings or impulsive behaviors interfere with daily life.
Mildred sees choosing an approach as a team effort. She will listen to what matters to the client and try techniques that match their goals and comfort level. If something doesn’t fit, she adjusts the plan so progress feels steady and realistic.
For practical use, online therapy can make scheduling easier and reduce travel time. It can allow shorter check-ins on busy days or regular weekly sessions without commuting. Because the therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the exact options offered before booking so you can pick what fits your routine.
