About Teresa
Teresa Walton-Skinner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, grief, and ADHD. She offers a calm and respectful presence and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Teresa aims to make starting therapy feel straightforward and manageable.
Her style is warm and interactive. Teresa listens carefully and adapts sessions to each person's needs rather than using one fixed plan.
How Teresa works
She avoids stigmatizing labels and emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in each meeting. Teresa uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. She also draws on client-centered approaches that put the person's goals at the center of care.
Solution-focused techniques are used to zero in on small, realistic changes that add up over time. Over four years she has worked in service delivery and program development and has supported people with anger, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, trauma, career questions, and caregiving stress among other concerns. Teresa brings that variety of experience into conversations about practical next steps and coping skills.
Sessions are framed around individual goals such as improving communication, managing strong emotions, handling workplace stress, or navigating life changes. She encourages people to set small goals, try strategies between sessions, and adjust the plan as needed so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy places the person's goals and experience first. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps people clarify what matters most so sessions follow the client's priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions; it gives practical exercises and experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on small, achievable steps and practical solutions that can be tried between sessions to build momentum and confidence.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to identify goals and try methods that match those goals and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps, so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people see nonverbal cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be a better fit when lower bandwidth is needed or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and texting allow shorter check-ins and flexible communication during busy weeks. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other daily demands while keeping the focus on workable steps and progress.
