01About Theresa
Theresa Farello welcomes people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin. She is an Ohio-based licensed professional clinical counselor, LPCC, with five years of experience supporting people through big life changes. Theresa writes plainly and listens carefully to help clients find practical next steps.
Theresa aims to make sessions feel approachable and down-to-earth. She draws on client-centered methods to follow each person’s pace and priorities. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavioral experiments.
Background and approach
She also brings elements of Emotionally-Focused Therapy when deeper relationship or attachment patterns are part of the work. Her background includes time as a school counselor, director of social services, and an adjunct professor. Those roles shaped her skill set for working with transitions, loss, and identity-related stress.
Theresa often supports people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and struggles with focus or motivation. Theresa has particular interest in ADHD, autism spectrum concerns, adoption and foster care questions, and issues related to first responder and veteran experiences. She also works with people managing addictions, eating concerns, and intimacy-related challenges.
She pays close attention to trauma, sexual assault, and self-harm histories when they affect day-to-day life. Sessions focus on understanding what feels most urgent, building small coping skills, and practicing new ways of relating to thoughts and feelings. Theresa helps clients map clear steps forward and adjusts her approach as needs shift.
She invites people to start with a simple hello and take the next step at a manageable pace.

How Theresa’s Approaches Translate to Online Sessions
Theresa uses client-centered therapy to follow each person’s lead, prioritize what matters most, and create a collaborative pace for change. This approach helps clarify personal goals and encourages practical problem solving.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation problems where trying specific actions can show fast results.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when attachment and relationship patterns are central to the concern; it helps name feelings and try new ways of relating. Theresa mixes these approaches so sessions fit the issue at hand rather than forcing a single method.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Theresa will discuss options and make decisions together based on goals, preferences, and how each method feels in practice. The plan can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when video isn't needed, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around work, school, or family needs and to keep momentum between meetings.
