About Teodoro
Teodoro Anderson Diaz is a licensed clinical social worker with two decades of experience helping people find clearer footing during hard times. He holds a Master of Social Work and practices in Connecticut as an LCSW. He speaks English and Spanish and offers therapy to people from many backgrounds.
He focuses on common and painful concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma and substance use. He also helps with anger, self-esteem, grief, eating concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and career or parenting stress.
How Teodoro works
Additional attention is given to first responder issues, immigration-related challenges, and multicultural concerns. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. He uses methods drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, narrative ideas, and existential perspectives.
In conversation he prioritizes listening first, then helps clients set small steps they can try between sessions. Teodoro adapts his style to each person. Some people want direct skill practice and homework, others prefer to explore meaning and values.
He balances both by checking in about what is helpful and adjusting the pace accordingly. Therapy can involve short-term problem solving or a longer process of change. People who reach out can expect a calm, straightforward approach and suggestions they can test in daily life.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish for those who prefer either language.

Online support options
Online approaches that fit your day-to-day life
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and building a trusting relationship. It helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to talk and to clarify what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and patterns that get in the way of everyday functioning because it teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Motivational Interviewing is a short-term, collaborative style that helps people find their own reasons to change. It is often used with substance use, ambivalence about change, or when someone needs help moving from thinking about change to taking action.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Teodoro will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be a simple check-in without video, live chat fits quick conversations, and messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. These options help people fit care into busy days and varied schedules.
