About Teresa
Teresa Longo is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with 20 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, addictions, relationship strain, parenting concerns, grief, and life changes. Teresa aims to make the first step feel less intimidating and to offer steady, practical support.
She keeps sessions simple and direct. Teresa creates a space where people can talk openly without judgment.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on what feels most urgent and on small changes that can improve day-to-day life. Teresa uses approaches that emphasize the person's own goals and strengths. She draws on client-centered methods to listen closely and follow each person's pace.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used when helpful to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of responding. Existential ideas also appear in her work, encouraging clients to consider values, meaning, and practical choices during hard times. Teresa blends these perspectives to match a person's needs rather than sticking to a single method.
She works with people facing a wide range of concerns, including parenting stress and caregiving strain. Her style is down-to-earth and hopeful - she treats hope as a resource to build from. If someone is ready to explore change, Teresa offers steady guidance and concrete steps forward.

How Teresa’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. The therapist offers empathy and support while helping clients name goals and make steady changes. This approach helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental place to sort through feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and try new behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress that interfere with daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Teresa treats approach selection as a collaboration, adjusting methods to fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences rather than using one fixed method. Together they decide what to focus on and how to measure progress.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people see facial expressions and do deeper conversations, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows brief check-ins during a busy day, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or parenting schedules.
