About Tressa
Tressa Henson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Michigan. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Parents and people dealing with relationship or family concerns can find practical guidance.
She also supports those managing grief, trauma, career questions, and parenting challenges. Tressa draws on 17 years of experience to keep sessions focused and useful. She uses straightforward methods that help people notice patterns, try new responses, and set small achievable goals.
How Tressa works
Sessions include listening, gentle feedback, and collaborative planning rather than long lectures or jargon. Her work also addresses aging and geriatric issues, chronic pain and illness, and the emotional effects of disasters. Financial strain, fatherhood concerns, jealousy, and postpartum depression are among additional areas she addresses.
Cultural and multicultural concerns are taken into account during conversations. Tressa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy in ways that fit each person. That means she blends short-term problem solving with moment-to-moment awareness and exploring personal stories when useful.
The aim is practical progress that matches a person's goals. People who choose her can expect an approachable, respectful clinician who emphasizes clear steps forward. Her style pairs compassion with structured tools to help clients make real changes over time.

Approaches and online therapy that fit your life
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people identify thought patterns that keep stress and depression active and then try different, practical behaviors to change those patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm in daily moments. Motivational Interviewing uses open questions and reflective listening to help people find their own reasons to change and build motivation for next steps.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that match what you want to accomplish. Techniques can be mixed and adjusted over time so the work stays focused on what helps you most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy schedules. Video is useful for deeper, face-to-face conversations. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can work for brief check-ins, coaching-style tasks, or people who prefer typing. These options aim to make it easier to keep progress going between other responsibilities.
