Theodore Liswith, LCSW

Theodore Liswith is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida with 23 years of clinical experience. He combines formal training and hands-on practice to support people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, sleep disturbances, trauma, grief, and self-esteem or motivation challenges. Trained at both bachelor and master levels with honors and holding a certificate in trauma therapy practice, he has worked in a variety of care settings that include a Carnegie research university, a major level 1 trauma hospital, and one of the largest mental health care providers in the United States.

Theodore's background also includes service in the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Army, and his practice addresses a wide range of life concerns beyond core mental health symptoms. He has experience helping clients navigate relationship and family issues, adoption and foster care matters, workplace and educational challenges, housing and financial stressors, medical and legal system interactions, and the particular needs that arise from caregiving or serious illness.

Using client-centered methods alongside evidence-informed approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-focused therapy, emotionally-focused therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, narrative, and solution-focused work, Theodore collaborates with each person to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space for exploring thoughts and feelings. He aims to help clients build practical coping strategies, strengthen relationships, and move toward the goals they identify for themselves.
