Teresa is all about guiding you to what bothers you. So you can hear it for yourself from your own mouth. It's very enlightening that way. She also doesn't let you get away with avoiding anything. I appreciate all she does to make sure I keep making progress.

Teresa is absolutely amazing! I took therapy with her in 2020-2021 and just came back late 2023. She had impecable notes and memory since she remembers my main concerns and is able to see areas where I’ve grown and make connections to prior sessions we’ve had. She has a way of making you feel comfortable and at ease while discussing the real root of issues. I would 100% and have recommended Theresa to others!

More about Teresa

  • 15 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

Reaching out and trying to find a therapist can be one of the hardest things to do when you are feeling in chaos and in crisis. Once you take that first step, it gets easier and progressively easier. Feeling like someone is actually listening to you and focusing on you is so important, especially now days. As a therapist, I focus on each person’s specific needs and I adjust my style accordingly. I tend to draw from solution focused, strengths based and cognitive behavioral areas in order to help folks problem solve things that are going on currently and in the past. This has worked well for my client’s and outcomes have been positive.

I will strive to help you feel comfortable and safe from judgement and censure. Together I feel we can work on goals you want to achieve that will help you feel more confident, motivated and self-aware. I have over 10 years of clinical experience. I have been privileged to have worked in hospitals, outpatient clinics, and community teams providing therapy in homes, as well as private practice. I have a large amount of experience with relationship difficulties, stress, anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, Autism, PTSD, parenting, grief/loss and medical changes. I obtained my Masters of Science in Social Work from University of Texas at Austin. I feel very strongly about quality therapy being provided for clients, so I obtained higher clinical training and acquired my license to supervise others in my field who also want to provide therapy and help people.

Being accepted and understood is what most people want and need. It would be a privilege to be present with you and provide that safe non-judgmental space so you are able to process and grow from the challenges life has thrown your way. In terms of availability, I check and respond to messages at least twice daily, seven days a week. I offer live chat, phone sessions and occasional video sessions weekly, mostly between the hours of 8am and 6pm on select days of the week. I also offer a few live chat sessions each week in the later evening hours or on the weekends depending on needs.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I've been working with Teresa for nearly a year now - through many different and challenging situations and life events. Teresa meets me where I'm at, listens well, helps keep me accountable, and gives me practical steps I can take to improve my life.

For the longest time I have been terrified about telling other people about what I have experienced. Earlier this year I was finally sick and tired of being afraid. Over it! Ever since I was matched with Teresa and she's been working with me. I've been feeling more confident, less afraid. I've only had a couple panic attacks since I started this and it's been like 8 months. I've come a long way, but I know I still got distance to travel. If Teresa, and God tbh, sticks with me pretty sure I can make it. ^_^
