About Teresa
Teresa Freeman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with 13 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. Teresa aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental setting where people can speak honestly about what they are facing.
She helps people name painful patterns and develop clearer ways of coping. That can mean learning practical skills to manage strong emotions, trying small behavior changes, or talking through how past experiences shape current choices. Sessions are paced to match each person's needs and comfort level.
Teresa emphasizes building trust and an open dialogue. She believes steady progress grows from small shifts in thought and action. Clients can expect direct, simple strategies alongside space to process feelings.
Her clinical work draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. These methods are used to address issues like codependency, abandonment, communication problems, and substance use, as well as chronic illness and caregiver stress.
Evening appointments are part of how she works now. If someone is ready to begin, the next step is to complete the intake and schedule a time that fits their evening routine.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking actions that match those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings come up. It can help with anxiety, depression, and patterns like codependency by shifting what matters most in daily choices.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape present patterns of trust and closeness. It can be useful when abandonment, communication problems, or relationship-related fears keep showing up in a person's life.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test out new behaviors. It is commonly used for anxiety, anger, and depression and often pairs well with skills training for coping and relapse prevention.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Teresa treats selection of methods as a team effort, choosing techniques based on a person's goals, life circumstances, and what feels most helpful. She adjusts plans as progress and needs evolve.
