About Teresa
Teresa Robertson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She brings 19 years of clinical experience and practices from Florida where she currently works. Teresa speaks English and aims to make sessions straightforward and easy to follow for people feeling overwhelmed.
She uses a blended approach that pulls from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness.
Background and approach
Teresa adapts methods to each person’s needs and encourages client input at every step. Sessions often focus on practical skills for managing emotions, lowering anxiety, and improving day-to-day functioning. Before independent practice she spent many years in community mental health and social service settings.
Teresa earned a master’s degree in professional counseling from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology in 1999 and later took additional graduate courses in human sexuality, grief and trauma. Her background includes work with mood and stress-related concerns such as depression, bipolar issues, panic, and ADHD.
She also supports people with relationship and family concerns, parenting stress, grief and loss, and challenges tied to big life changes. Teresa has studied trauma-informed care and has training related to trauma-focused methods and disaster preparedness. Therapy sessions use a mix of tools so people can build insight and practical coping skills.
The goal is clearer thinking, better emotion regulation, and stronger coping during transitions. Teresa aims to work collaboratively to create a plan that fits each person’s life and goals.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Teresa commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness therapy in online sessions. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with practical strategies to reduce anxiety or depression. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to lower stress and increase emotional awareness.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Teresa starts by listening to what matters most to the person and discusses goals and preferences. She then recommends techniques and adjusts them over time so the plan fits daily life and feels useful.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow fuller conversation and nonverbal cues while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, managing symptoms between sessions, and fitting support into a busy schedule.
