Mildred Sellars is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and ADHD-related concerns.

She earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Central Florida and has worked in many settings over two decades.
Background and approach
Her background includes crisis units, residential programs, schools, in-home care, and community mental health. That variety informs how she tailors care to different life situations. Mildred draws on client-centered methods and several evidence-based approaches.
She often combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and build habits that match their values. She also uses attachment-based ideas when relationship patterns and early connections matter. Her experience includes working with people facing severe mental illness, foster care situations, adolescents, parents, and caregivers.
She has supported clients dealing with parenting stress, career transitions, loss, and life changes. Mildred also works with concerns like addictions, intimacy-related issues, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. Sessions aim to be straightforward and respectful.
Mildred helps clients set clear goals, try specific strategies, and check progress. She emphasizes collaboration and practical tools that fit the client’s daily routine.
Approaches that guide online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings appear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and other distressing symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections, which can be useful for intimacy and parenting concerns.Mildred approaches therapy as a collaboration. She will talk with each person about their goals, try different tools, and adjust methods based on what fits best. Finding the right approach is part of the work together rather than a one-time choice.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, quick coaching, or when someone prefers typing. These options make it easier to maintain momentum between sessions and try strategies in real-world moments.
