About Theresa
Theresa Grodi-Kennon is a licensed clinical social worker with 21 years of experience in mental health. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside practical strategies to help people manage overwhelming feelings and reconnect with what matters. Her approach is warm and straightforward, aimed at parents and adults facing stress and life transitions.
Theresa spent many years working in psychiatric hospitals and later opened a independent practice for outpatient care. That background gives her experience with a wide range of challenges, from depression and bipolar disorder to trauma and grief.
Background and approach
She focuses on clear, doable steps you can take between sessions. In sessions she listens without judgment and helps people name their feelings. Theresa combines client-centered support with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy.
She often helps clients relearn coping skills and build routines that bring back a sense of stability. Theresa also works with parenting stress, relationship strain, sleep problems, anger, and self-esteem issues. She offers practical problem solving, resources, and gentle guidance to help clients move toward balance and confidence.
Many people find it useful when a therapist believes in their ability to change. Grief and caregiver stress are areas she has handled often, supporting people through loss and the heavy emotions that follow. Theresa helps clients sort through survivor feelings and develop ways to carry on with meaning.
If someone is ready to begin, Theresa encourages taking a small step forward. She teams with each person to set realistic goals and to rebuild strength, one step at a time.

Online support
How emotional work and practical tools translate to online care
Theresa blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide emotional insight and values-based change. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people see and name patterns in their feelings, which can reduce overwhelm and improve relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on what matters most and teaches small actions to move toward those values even when strong emotions are present.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Theresa will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their situation and goals. That means trying ideas, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together so it matches preferences and needs.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets you work more like an in-person meeting, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins, and messaging is useful for ongoing notes or short updates between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy days, manage health or travel constraints, or choose the format that feels most comfortable.
