Theresa Yucel, LPC

Theresa Yucel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who brings a decade of experience to her work with individuals across the lifespan. She holds a Master of Arts in Counseling from Northwestern University and has practiced full time since 2015, supporting adolescents, young adults, and older adults through a range of life challenges.

Her early training included three years in crisis management at an inpatient psychiatric hospital, where she assisted clients during acute mental health episodes. She later transitioned to outpatient care with an emphasis on adult and geriatric group therapy, and she has continued to work with people managing adjustment difficulties, grief and loss, and moments of crisis.

Theresa works with concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress, relationship and family issues, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, and coping with life changes. She also supports clients facing aging and geriatric issues, family-of-origin and communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation, panic attacks, and questions of life purpose.

Her approach centers on building a trusting, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship and treating therapy as a collaborative partnership. She emphasizes practical skills like healthy boundary setting and self-care while tailoring interventions to each person’s needs and goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Theresa Yucel

Theresa Yucel draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and creating a supportive space so clients can explore their feelings and find their own solutions - it is helpful for building self-esteem, improving relationships, and navigating life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) aims to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical strategies and skills - it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and panic symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Theresa collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy with Theresa is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility and access for busy schedules or mobility needs. These options allow clients to engage in regular sessions, practice skills between meetings, and maintain continuity of care even when life circumstances change, all while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor the pace and format to each client.
