About Teresa
Teresa Walton-Skinner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people tackle common parenting worries and related stresses. She writes plainly and listens closely, offering a calm, respectful presence for parents feeling overwhelmed, drained, or unsure about next steps.
With four years of clinical experience, she supports people facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and the everyday strain of caregiving. Teresa also works with concerns such as anger, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and workplace stress.
Background and approach
She often helps people who are balancing career demands with parenting responsibilities. Teresa favors an interactive, warm style in sessions. She treats clients with empathy and avoids stigmatizing labels.
Conversations are practical and tailored to what each person needs right now rather than following a fixed script. Her approach blends client-centered methods, which focus on listening and understanding, with cognitive behavioral techniques that look at thoughts and behaviors. She also uses solution-focused strategies to set short-term goals and track small changes that add up over time.
Sessions may include problem-solving for family dynamics, strategies to manage strong emotions, skills for reducing anxiety, or planning to handle life changes. Teresa aims to empower clients so they can try new skills between meetings and build more confidence in their parenting and daily life.

Approaches and online support for parenting stress
Teresa uses client-centered work to create a listening space where parents and caregivers can be heard without judgment. This approach focuses on understanding your perspective and helping you make choices that feel right for your family.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage strong emotions, and change unhelpful routines. Solution-focused therapy is used for setting clear, short-term goals and tracking small steps that lead to visible progress in daily life.
Finding the best approach is a team effort. Teresa will talk with each client about goals, concerns, and what methods feel most useful. Together you will try strategies and adjust the plan based on what works and what does not, so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Video lets you have face-to-face conversations, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options give flexibility for parents balancing work, childcare, and other commitments.
