About Teresa
Teresa Satterfield is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 15 years of experience. She helps people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Her approach is respectful and straightforward, aimed at practical steps a person can use day to day.
Teresa adapts conversations and plans to each person's situation. She works with issues such as panic attacks, mood disorders, feelings of emptiness, and problems with communication and control.
How Teresa works
She also supports those facing caregiver stress, intellectual disability concerns, and the effects of trauma. Her clinical toolkit includes cognitive behavioral techniques, skills from dialectical behavior therapy, hypnotherapy, mindfulness practices, and trauma-focused methods. In sessions she helps people identify unhelpful thinking, practice emotional regulation skills, and build routines that reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Teresa emphasizes a collaborative relationship. She says change takes courage and that she wants to support and empower people as they make those first steps. Conversations are tailored to goals, whether that means short-term coping tools or longer work on patterns that hold someone back.
People can expect clear language and practical strategies in sessions. Teresa aims for care that feels sensitive and down-to-earth, with a focus on what helps in real life.

Online support options
Practical therapies you can use online
Teresa draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and build steady routines. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thought and testing them with practical experiments, which can reduce anxiety and depression. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to lower stress and improve emotional awareness.She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotional regulation and distress-tolerance skills for intense moments. These approaches are chosen together with the person in a collaborative way so the plan fits their goals and preferences rather than forcing a single method.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for longer sessions and face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is low, and chat or text can fit short check-ins or brief skills practice. These options let people schedule work around family, work, or other obligations while keeping focus on real-world progress.
