Theresa Kibbe, LPC

Theresa Kibbe is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with 21 years of professional experience. She has worked extensively with people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, low self-esteem, and motivation challenges, offering steady support as clients navigate difficult life changes.

Theresa approaches therapy with the belief that each person is the expert on their own story and that existing strengths can be used to overcome current challenges. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, anger, family issues, and relationship difficulties. She also focuses on related areas such as body image, codependency, caregiver stress, communication problems, and recovery from domestic violence and substance use.

Beginning therapy can take courage, and Theresa honors that first step by creating a respectful, collaborative environment where clients explore goals and build practical skills. Her work aims to help clients increase confidence, develop healthier coping strategies, and move toward meaningful change at a pace that fits each individual.

Therapeutic approaches offered online

Theresa Kibbe draws on evidence-based approaches that translate well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and patterns while building practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship problems. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that supports processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional intensity, often used for trauma and abuse recovery. Somatic therapy attends to bodily sensations and physical responses tied to stress and trauma, helping clients notice and regulate their nervous system to reduce symptoms and improve resilience.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Theresa works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or manage care from different locations within the state. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach skills, process difficult experiences, and support ongoing recovery in ways that suit each client’s life.
