About Teodoro
Teodoro Anderson Diaz brings two decades of clinical experience to his work as an LCSW in Connecticut, combining formal training with practical experience across a range of treatment settings.
Background and approach
He holds an MSW and is also a licensed addiction counselor in Connecticut, which informs his work with people struggling with substance use alongside mood and behavioral concerns. His approach is patient-centered and data-informed, blending practical techniques and reflective exploration to address depression, anxiety, trauma, anger, and related challenges.
Teodoro uses a mix of methods - including cognitive behavioral strategies, client-centered support, and narrative exploration - to help clients sort patterns, build coping skills, and clarify values. He is fluent in English and Spanish and integrates multicultural and immigration-related perspectives when relevant to a person’s story.
Teodoro works with a broad array of issues such as grief, intimacy concerns, ADHD, bipolar conditions, career stress, parenting challenges, and compassion fatigue. His style emphasizes collaboration and practical steps while remaining attentive to each person’s unique background and goals.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access
Teodoro commonly integrates cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered work to address unhelpful thinking and build practical coping skills, and he also draws on existential ideas to explore meaning, values, and life transitions. CBT offers structured tools to manage symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and problematic behaviors, while client-centered work emphasizes empathy, validation, and supporting a person’s own goals. Existential approaches help when concerns involve identity, purpose, or navigating major life changes.Finding the right approach is part of collaborative care; the therapist will work with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they can adjust the focus over time, combining skill-building, reflective exploration, and motivational strategies as appropriate.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy lives and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible.
