About Teresa
Teresa Worthy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 21 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, addiction, ADHD, and codependency. Sessions are conversational and grounded in respect and compassion.
Teresa uses a mix of practical approaches to fit each person’s needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and take small values-driven steps. She also uses Client-Centered and Emotionally-Focused ideas to build trust and deepen emotional understanding.
Her approach is interactive and strengths-based. Teresa avoids stigmatizing labels and works to create a collaborative space where people feel heard. She helps clients break problems into manageable steps and practice new skills between sessions.
Teresa has long experience supporting people after trauma and domestic violence, and she offers care for those facing grief, chronic health issues, or caregiving stress. She also supports people navigating parenting challenges, career strain, sleep problems, and intimacy-related concerns.
If someone wants to explore coaching-style tools, Teresa integrates those options as part of a broader counseling plan. She aims to help people find clearer priorities, improved coping, and more reliable emotional balance over time.
How Teresa’s approaches translate to online counseling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and take small steps toward what matters most. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, codependency issues, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and helps clients find their own answers, which is helpful for building trust after trauma or domestic violence.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit the client’s goals, comfort, and preferences. That plan can shift as needs change, and Teresa tailors techniques to each person rather than using a single fixed method.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which online options are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering flexible scheduling across time zones for international clients. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively in remote sessions, adapting exercises and homework to fit a person’s daily routine.
