Theresa Fillingim is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and trauma.

04Online support
How attachment work and practical skills translate online
Theresa commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds affect current relationships and emotional reactions; this can help when people struggle with trust, abandonment fears, or closeness. She also relies on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more useful ways of thinking, which often reduces anxiety and depression symptoms.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Theresa will talk with each person about their concerns, goals, and preferences and recommend techniques that fit. That decision is revisited over time so the work stays relevant and effective for the person.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video works well for in-depth conversations and emotional work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, coping reminders, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into busy days and varied routines.
