She holds a BS in Psychology from Wayne State College and an MS in Counseling from Creighton University, and combines her formal training with a flexible approach to therapy that adapts to each person’s needs.

Theresa works with people dealing with low self-esteem, mood instability, negative self-talk, career and educational concerns, relationship difficulties, and the emotional impacts of divorce. She draws on multiple therapeutic methods and tailors interventions to the goals and circumstances of each client, balancing practical strategies with attention to personal meaning and growth.

Committed to creating a welcoming therapeutic space, Theresa places value on collaboration, empathy, and steady progress. She finds professional fulfillment in helping clients build skills, navigate transitions, and recognize incremental success as they work toward more satisfying relationships and a stronger sense of self.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Theresa integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as central parts of her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience and building a trusting, empathetic relationship to support growth and self-understanding; it can be helpful for issues like self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions. CBT offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with stressful situations. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients set clear goals and identify small, actionable steps toward change, which can be useful for career decisions, relationship improvements, and immediate problem-solving.

Finding the right approach is collaborative - Theresa works with clients to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and situation, and she adjusts strategies as progress is made. Clients are encouraged to be active partners in shaping the plan of care.

Online therapy with Theresa is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support during life changes, manage ongoing stressors, and continue therapy from wherever a client is located, while working with licensed professionals and therapists who guide the process.
