About Teresa
Teresa Gehman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people facing stress and anxiety. She brings three decades of experience to her work and focuses on practical, relatable support. Teresa speaks English and works with adults on many concerns, including grief, depression, eating and addiction issues, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting strain.
Teresa keeps sessions straightforward and goal-oriented. She blends different approaches to match each person's needs rather than relying on a single method.
Background and approach
That can mean talking through thoughts and behaviors, testing small changes, or focusing on values and connection to guide next steps. Her background includes long experience with trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and complex medical or caregiving situations. Teresa also addresses attachment and commitment concerns, body image, and problems that arise after separation or during major life changes.
Over time she has worked with people dealing with aging and geriatric issues, chronic illness, and cancer-related stress. In sessions she uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance and commitment techniques, solution-focused work, attachment-based thinking, and a client-centered stance. That means sessions often involve clear strategies, time to reflect on patterns, and practical steps to try between meetings.
Teresa prefers collaboration and sets simple, achievable goals with each person. Her practice offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Therapy subscriptions can be canceled at any time, and scheduling is set after a short matching questionnaire and an initial appointment choice.
Approaches and what online work looks like
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking small steps toward a life that matters to you; it can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses simple experiments and skill practice to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with worry, mood, eating concerns, and trauma-related symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early connection patterns affect current relationships and can help with intimacy, commitment issues, and trust concerns.Choosing the right approach usually happens together. Teresa will talk with each person about goals, daily challenges, and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit those needs. Sessions can shift over time as progress and priorities change, and the therapist checks in about what is working.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing expressions matters. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit shorter check-ins into a busy day or to reflect in writing between appointments. These options help people continue work on anxiety, grief, relationships, and other concerns without extra travel or scheduling barriers.
