About Teresa
Teresa Thiel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, and life transitions. She works with adults facing depression, grief, trauma and abuse, anger, sleep difficulties, ADHD, and career questions. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental, and she aims to help clients feel more in control of their lives.
Teresa uses a client-centered approach that keeps the person's goals in front.
Background and approach
She listens closely and helps people name what matters most to them. She also brings in trauma-focused techniques when past events interfere with daily life, and motivational interviewing to support change when people feel stuck.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Wisconsin–Madison and a Master of Arts in Community Psychology - Professional Counseling from Alverno College. Teresa has four years of clinical experience working with a range of concerns, including sexual assault trauma and emotional abuse. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs.
Teresa encourages honest feedback so the work can adjust over time. She supports parents who want practical ways to handle parenting stress and communication problems without promising quick fixes. People who choose to work with Teresa can expect straightforward conversation, clear goals, and tools they can use between sessions.
She helps clients explore self-love, forgiveness, family of origin issues, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. The focus is on small, steady steps toward a more manageable life.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Teresa often uses a client-centered approach that puts the person’s priorities first. That means sessions focus on what the client wants to change and the pace is set together. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name their emotions and how those feelings affect relationships and behavior; it can be helpful for relationship strains and strong emotional reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Teresa collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and comfort level. She may combine client-centered work with EFT or motivational interviewing when someone needs support making changes or processing difficult experiences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues in conversation, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to try different ways of connecting until the best fit is found.
