About Teresa
Teresa Worthy uses an approach that centers on practical, evidence-based therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationship struggles. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 21 years of experience. Teresa keeps sessions direct and relatable so parents can follow along without jargon.
Her style is warm and interactive. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while avoiding stigmatizing labels. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on simple skills people can use between meetings.
How Teresa works
Teresa blends methods like cognitive behavioral work, acceptance and commitment ideas, and emotionally-focused listening to match each person's needs. She also draws on dialectical behavior approaches when people need skills for intense emotions or relationship patterns. The mix is adjusted to fit the situation rather than following a single formula.
She has helped people cope with life changes, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, sleep problems, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue. Her practice also includes work with ADHD, codependency, chronic illness, and issues tied to aging or caregiver stress. Teresa offers practical coaching around career and communication problems as well as support for intimacy-related and commitment worries.
Her goal is to help people build clear steps forward and steady habits that reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning.

Online support options
Online approaches that meet you where you are
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then clarify values and take small steps toward a more meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) prioritizes understanding emotional responses in close relationships and can help people communicate needs more clearly and repair hurt patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Teresa will talk about what matters to the client and try methods that fit their goals and comfort level. The plan is collaborative and may combine techniques from different approaches to address symptoms and day-to-day functioning.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls are good for a fuller conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share thoughts between sessions or get support when a quick message or written reflection helps maintain progress.
