About Teresa
Teresa Worthy is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 21 years of clinical experience. She offers a steady, compassionate presence for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, addictions, parenting concerns, and the effects of trauma. Her approach is warm and interactive.
Sessions focus on practical skills and honest conversation. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats each person with respect and sensitivity. Teresa draws from several evidence-based approaches to build a plan that fits each person.
Background and approach
That may include cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, or emotion-focused work to repair hurting relationships. She tailors tools to a person's situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. She has particular experience helping people manage ADHD, grief, sleep problems, anger, and the strain that caregiving or chronic illness can bring.
Teresa also supports those navigating intimacy issues, career stress, and recovery from domestic violence. Her style mixes practical coaching with gentle challenge. Sessions aim to build clearer goals, better coping skills, and stronger emotional awareness.
Teresa encourages small steps that add up to meaningful change.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name their values and take small steps toward them. It focuses on accepting difficult feelings while committing to actions that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches straightforward skills to change patterns of thinking and behavior, which can ease anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses in close relationships to improve connection and reduce conflict.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different methods to see what fits. This collaborative process means techniques are adjusted over time to match changing needs and priorities.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video offers a face-to-face feel for deeper conversations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when an off-screen check-in is preferred. Live chat and messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, homework support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between appointments.
