About Mildred
Mildred Sellars is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 21 years of experience helping people manage parenting stress, relationship strain, anxiety, and major life changes.

She has worked in crisis units, residential programs, schools, and community mental health settings across Florida.
Background and approach
That background means she is familiar with high-stress situations and practical supports that help families and individuals cope. She has helped people facing grief, loss, career shifts, and challenges tied to foster care and adoption. Mildred draws on client-centered methods and evidence-based tools to tailor sessions to each person.
She uses strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and actions. She also incorporates attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns that affect parenting and intimacy. Sessions tend to focus on concrete next steps and skills you can try between meetings.
Mildred aims to make therapy feel useful and doable for busy lives. She treats each person with dignity and works collaboratively to set realistic goals. Her practice offers phone, video, live chat, and text messaging formats to make it easier to fit help into a schedule.
She works in English and is licensed in Florida as an LCSW.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then take actions aligned with what matters to them; it can help with anxiety, depression, and parenting stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through short-term, structured work and is often useful for anxiety, mood problems, and coping skills development. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape reactions and connection with others, which can be helpful for parenting, intimacy issues, and family conflict.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Mildred will discuss your goals, needs, and preferences and suggest which methods might fit best. You can try approaches and adjust as you go based on what feels helpful and practical for your life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are close to an in-person visit and allow visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or fitting care into a busy day. These options let people access licensed professionals from different locations and fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules.
