About Mildred

Mildred Sellars is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, parenting pressures, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With 21 years of clinical experience, she brings practical support to those managing mood disorders, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, and self-esteem or career worries. She also addresses a wide range of related concerns such as ADHD, bipolar conditions, compassion fatigue, and blended family dynamics.

Her background includes work in crisis units, residential programs, schools, community mental health settings, and in-home services, giving her a broad perspective on both acute and long-term needs. Mildred has supported foster children and families, adolescents, and people facing severe mental health challenges, and she has helped clients through grief, divorce, fertility and caregiving stress.

Her training includes a Master of Social Work from the University of Central Florida and two decades of practical experience in diverse settings. Therapeutically she emphasizes a client-centered stance and uses evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) alongside attachment-informed and skills-based approaches.

Mildred aims for an empathetic, approachable style that respects each person’s dignity and focuses on the goals the client identifies.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support



Mildred draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to encourage values-driven action and acceptance skills when clients face difficult emotions or life changes. Attachment-based ideas inform her work with relationship, family, and intimacy-related concerns by exploring how early connection patterns shape current dynamics.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Mildred works with each client to clarify goals, try methods that fit their preferences, and adjust course as needed so treatment feels practical and relevant to daily life.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for scheduling and communication style. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines, maintain continuity during transitions, and access consistent support from a licensed professional regardless of travel constraints.
