About Theresa
Theresa Kasman is a licensed mental health counselor who draws on 15 years of experience to help people cope with stress, anxiety, addiction, and relationship concerns. She focuses on building clarity about what matters to each person and on practical steps that move them forward. Theresa aims to create a nonjudgmental space where clients can talk honestly and consider new options.
Her approach often begins with understanding how attachment patterns shape current relationships.
How Theresa works
She uses client-centered techniques to follow the person’s lead and focus on what feels most pressing. Existential ideas help people look at meaning, values, and the choices that matter to them. Theresa works with concerns such as self-esteem, communication problems, control issues, and coping with life changes like divorce or midlife shifts.
She also supports people dealing with addiction, family of origin wounds, and caregiver stress. Practical topics like body image, guilt and shame, and finding life purpose are part of her focus. Sessions emphasize listening, reflection, and small experiments clients can try between meetings.
Theresa helps people identify patterns and then test different ways of responding. Over time that process aims to increase confidence and clearer decision-making. Theresa practices in New York and offers sessions in English.
Her style is straightforward and collaborative, with attention to both immediate concerns and longer-term meaning.

How attachment and client-centered approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection patterns influence current relationships and emotional responses; it can help people understand trust, abandonment fears, and how they relate to others. Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s perspective first, with the therapist following the client’s lead to clarify goals and next steps. Existential Therapy helps people consider meaning, values, and choices when life feels uncertain or stuck.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Theresa will collaborate with clients to decide which ideas to emphasize based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process can shift over time as problems change or new priorities emerge.
Online sessions offer practical benefits like scheduling flexibility and easier access from different locations. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when depth is needed. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing encouragement, and follow-up between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while keeping the focus on addressing stress, relationships, addiction, and personal meaning.
