About Theodore
Theodore Liswith is a Florida LCSW with 23 years of counseling experience. He has worked in military and large medical settings and helps people with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, sleep problems, and career concerns.
Theodore draws on long experience supporting people after major life changes and crises. He has worked in the U.S. Navy and U.S. Army and in hospital and university settings. His background includes work with trauma, grief, motivation, and problems that affect daily functioning like sleep and obsessive thoughts.
In sessions he focuses on practical conversation and problem solving. He listens to what is most pressing, then uses approaches that match the issue and the person. That can mean looking at unhelpful thinking patterns, building emotional understanding, or using mindfulness to manage stress and sleep.
Theodore also addresses life stressors that show up alongside mental health concerns. He talks through relationship strain, work or school problems, housing and financial pressures, and interactions with legal or medical systems. He helps people consider what steps feel doable next.
He asks about goals and what has or has not worked before. Sessions aim to make small, concrete changes people can try between meetings. Theodore encourages straightforward feedback so the work stays focused on day-to-day progress.
How Theodore uses specific approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and making space for what matters to the client. It helps when someone needs to sort through feelings, regain confidence, or decide next steps after a big change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and patterns like obsessive thoughts by offering concrete exercises and practical strategies.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people recognize and respond to emotional patterns that affect their relationships and self-understanding. It can be helpful when emotional reactions feel overwhelming or get in the way of making decisions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Theodore will discuss goals and preferences and suggest approaches that fit those needs. He adapts methods if something is not helping and invites feedback so the plan stays practical and focused.
