Teresa Worthy is a licensed professional counselor with 21 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship strain, addiction, grief, and the everyday pressures of parenting and career.

Her approach is practical and interactive. She listens first, then helps people set small, realistic goals. Sessions often include skill building for coping, emotional regulation, and clearer communication.
Background and approach
Teresa adapts methods to fit each person's situation rather than using the same plan for everyone. She has worked with people facing trauma and abuse, domestic violence, and complicated grief. She also supports those navigating ADHD, bipolar disorder, chronic illness, and caregiving stress.
Teresa pays attention to how life stages, blended family issues, and aging concerns affect daily functioning. Therapeutic methods she draws on include cognitive-behavioral ideas, acceptance and commitment strategies, dialectical skills, emotionally focused work, and a client-centered stance. Those approaches are blended to match the client’s needs and goals.
Teresa emphasizes practical steps that can be tried between sessions. People who choose her often want a steady, compassionate guide during change. She helps them build coping tools, improve relationships, and move toward clearer priorities.
If someone is ready to start, Teresa offers support that is direct, empathetic, and goal oriented.

04Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice hard thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that reflect their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes by shifting attention toward meaningful goals rather than trying to eliminate feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and sleep problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and shift emotional patterns in relationships and in how they relate to others. It can support work on intimacy issues, communication, and attachment concerns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and try different techniques to see what fits best. Goals, preferences, and daily life all shape which methods are emphasized during sessions.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging provide flexible, on-the-go ways to connect between scheduled sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit into work, parenting, caregiving, or travel schedules and let people choose the format that matches their needs.
