Teodoro Anderson Diaz , LCSW

Teodoro Anderson Diaz is a Connecticut based clinician who brings two decades of experience to his practice. He holds a Master of Social Work (MSW) from Springfield College and is licensed as a clinical social worker - LCSW - which authorizes independent practice in Connecticut. He is also a licensed addiction counselor in Connecticut, and his work has spanned a variety of service settings over the years.

Teodoro approaches therapy from a patient-centered, data-informed perspective, combining careful listening with evidence-aware strategies to help clients move forward. He is fluent in English and Spanish, and he works with people seeking relief from depression, substance use concerns, trauma, anxiety, and challenges with anger management. His style emphasizes collaboration, practical coping tools, and attention to each person’s lived experience, aiming to create a balanced path toward recovery and greater daily functioning.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Teodoro draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as central tools in his work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and respect for each person’s unique perspective - it helps clients explore feelings and find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, offering structured techniques to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns.

He also uses Motivational Interviewing, a collaborative style that helps strengthen a person’s motivation for change by exploring ambivalence and supporting personal goals. Together these approaches allow Teodoro to tailor sessions to individual needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Teodoro will collaborate with clients to identify which methods fit their goals, values, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit care into busy lives and to access help from different locations. These formats support continuity, scheduling flexibility, and the ability to use therapy in ways that match each person’s routine and comfort level.
