01About Tess
Dr. Tess DeProw offers help for people dealing with depression, anxiety, addiction, grief, anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, career pressures, bipolar disorder, trauma, and major life changes. She uses straightforward conversation to identify strengths and build practical steps forward.
Tess is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC licensed in Missouri with three decades of clinical experience. Her style is warm and encouraging. Sessions focus on clear goals and usable tools rather than jargon.
Background and approach
She listens for what’s working in a person’s life, then tests small changes that can make daily routines easier. Dr. DeProw draws on several approaches to match what each person needs.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps with unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Attachment-based and client-centered ideas guide how she builds a trusting working relationship. She also uses motivational interviewing to support change, and mindfulness techniques to reduce stress and improve focus.
Those tools are chosen to help people manage cravings, mood swings, anxiety, and relationship conflicts in everyday life. In sessions, practical planning is followed by check-ins and adjustments. Progress is measured in specific steps people can notice week to week.
The overall aim is clearer choices, less overwhelm, and stronger daily routines. With many years of experience, Tess combines direct problem-solving with steady encouragement. People leave with concrete strategies they can use between sessions.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape reactions. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships and learn different ways to connect. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention and calm, helping people notice stress and respond rather than react.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they adjust methods over time so sessions stay relevant and useful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls give face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and fit into busy days. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief skills practice, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on steady progress and practical strategies.
