About Teresa
Teresa Buss is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin who helps people facing parenting challenges, stress, anxiety, grief, and struggles with self-esteem and mood. She also supports clients dealing with trauma, addiction, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. Teresa aims to create a calm, welcoming space where people can speak openly and feel heard.
She describes her approach as non-judgmental and person-focused. Teresa centers relationship and compassion in sessions and works with each person to set goals that feel meaningful and doable.
Background and approach
She uses breath work and body-centered techniques alongside conversation to help people notice how stress and trauma show up in the body. Teresa combines storytelling and present-focused methods to help clients make sense of their experiences. She draws on attachment-based ideas to explore how past bonds affect current reactions.
Mindfulness skills are offered to build emotional regulation and lessen overwhelm. Her background includes five years of clinical experience and practice in Wisconsin as an LPC. Teresa identifies as non-binary and is an LGBTQIA+ ally, and she emphasizes learning each person’s perspective before recommending a path forward.
She has worked with people coping with PTSD, addictions recovery, and parent-child challenges. Sessions are structured around collaboration. Teresa helps people break big problems into small steps and uses a mix of narrative and motivational techniques to encourage steady progress.
The focus is practical - learning skills, shifting patterns, and building new routines that fit daily life.

How Teresa’s Approaches Translate Online
Teresa often uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds influence current behavior and relationships. This approach helps people understand patterns that show up with stress, parenting, and intimacy, and it guides practical steps to build different responses.She also draws on client-centered therapy, which means sessions follow the person’s priorities and pace. The therapist listens, reflects, and supports people in naming goals and choosing what to work on next. Mindfulness therapy is offered to teach simple skills like breath work and body awareness that reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Teresa works with each person to test methods, check what feels helpful, and adjust plans based on goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps match techniques to everyday life and parenting demands.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and guided breath or grounding exercises, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging offer quick ways to share thoughts between sessions and to track progress over time. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work when life gets hectic.
