About Theresa
Theresa Grodi-Kennon is a licensed social worker who brings 21 years of experience to her practice. She works with adults on common concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting struggles. Theresa aims to help people rebuild confidence and find practical ways to cope with hard moments.
She has spent many years in psychiatric hospitals and later ran a personal outpatient practice in the community. That mix of settings shaped her down-to-earth style.
Background and approach
Theresa listens, offers problem-solving tools, and helps clients notice patterns that get in the way of feeling steady again. In sessions she focuses on real changes people can make day to day. That includes building new habits, learning coping skills, and reframing unhelpful thoughts.
She emphasizes teamwork and encourages openness so clients can try different strategies and see what helps. Theresa also supports people facing relationship strain, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem issues, career stress, and major life transitions. She has worked with people coping with trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Additional focus areas include aging and geriatric issues, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, and cancer-related distress. Her approach blends client-centered listening with evidence-based techniques to help people rediscover balance. Theresa aims to offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where practical steps and steady support lead toward greater confidence and wellbeing.
Approach-focused care through online sessions
Theresa draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT is useful for anxiety, stress, and making life changes when old habits get in the way.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive space where people feel heard and understood. That approach helps when someone needs empathy and a steady listener to sort through feelings and decisions.
Finding the right approach is part of the journey. Theresa works together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She will suggest options, try strategies, and adjust based on what feels most helpful to the individual.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a good alternative when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and texting supports ongoing reflections between appointments. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while keeping the focus on progress and practical change.
