About Teresa
Teresa Fowler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and relationship concerns. She also supports those coping with trauma, grief, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and issues tied to self-esteem and career changes. Teresa speaks English and American Sign Language.
Teresa takes a straightforward, person-centered approach. She listens closely and helps people name what matters most to them. Sessions focus on practical steps, building strengths, and finding values-driven ways to move forward.
How Teresa works
Her background spans 18 years working with people dealing with disability-related barriers, caregiving strain, chronic illness, addiction, and complex family dynamics. She blends several evidence-based approaches to match a person’s needs rather than using a single method for everyone.
In the room, Teresa uses tools from acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and dialectical strategies to help manage intense emotions and change unhelpful patterns. She also draws on client-centered and existential ideas to honor each person’s values and life meaning. Her style is patient, compassionate, and action-oriented.
Teresa focuses on clear goals, honest feedback, and building resilience. To begin, a brief questionnaire and scheduling step helps connect people to the right format and time for sessions.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed actions toward them while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help people feeling stuck by pointing to what matters and encouraging steady steps in that direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping during life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication when feelings are intense. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Progress is reviewed regularly and strategies are adjusted in collaboration with the person seeking help. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for quick check-ins, skill practice, and when typing feels easier than speaking. These options help people schedule consistent care around work, caregiving, or other commitments.Start online instead of waiting
