About Theodore

Theodore Solomon is a licensed clinical social worker with forty years of experience in California. He focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, or depression. Theodore aims to provide steady support during big life changes such as divorce, shifts in work, or rethinking life purpose.

He uses a collaborative, straightforward style. Sessions are a place to talk through what’s happening now and to build practical steps forward.

Background and approach

He listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people try different ways of responding. Theodore often works with issues that show up at work and in social situations, including workplace stress and social anxiety. He helps people notice how their thoughts and habits affect mood and relationships, and then practices small, doable changes together.

Because he has decades of experience, Theodore is familiar with common life transitions and the extra strain those can bring. He focuses on rebuilding confidence and finding clearer priorities when routines and relationships shift. The aim is to leave each session with something concrete to try before the next meeting.

People who appreciate plain language and a steady presence tend to find his approach helpful. Theodore encourages honest conversation and gradual progress rather than quick fixes. He offers sessions in several online formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Theodore lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Online support

Evidence-based approaches and online sessions

Two common evidence-based techniques he uses are practical problem-solving and cognitive work. Practical problem-solving focuses on breaking big problems into smaller steps and testing changes in everyday life to reduce stress and improve coping. Cognitive work looks at unhelpful thoughts and practices ways of shifting them, which can ease anxiety, low mood, and relationship tension.

A second approach emphasizes behavior-based changes in daily routines and social skills practice. This gives straightforward exercises to try between meetings, such as setting small goals at work or rehearsing social responses to reduce social anxiety and build confidence.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Theodore works with each person to match techniques to individual goals, preferences, and what’s worked or not worked before. He checks in regularly and adjusts methods as progress is made.

Online therapy is offered with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for longer conversations and face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions or have shorter, focused exchanges. These options aim to make consistent care more practical for busy lives.
