About Teresa
Teresa Stebner is a Licensed Professional Mental Health Counselor (LPMHC) with 13 years of experience. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and the stress of life changes. She listens for strengths you already have and uses those as a starting point.
Her approach is client-driven and flexible. Teresa pays attention to how thoughts influence actions, and she sees the past and present as linked. She talks with people about how family patterns, relationships, trauma, and grief can interact and affect daily life.
Background and approach
Teresa aims to help clients become their own advocates. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can take between meetings. She encourages people to try skills, notice what works, and adjust plans as needed.
She combines several therapeutic approaches to match each person's needs, drawing on cognitive and emotional methods. Teresa focuses on clear goals and gradual change rather than one-size-fits-all solutions. She frames progress as a series of small, manageable steps.
Based in Delaware, she works with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, bipolar disorder, intimacy and relationship issues, eating concerns, caregiver stress, and questions of life purpose. Teresa accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. If someone wants a collaborative, steady presence while they work through challenges, she aims to offer practical support and steady guidance.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward a more meaningful life, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence behavior and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and routines. That method is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with stress.
Teresa uses a collaborative process to find the best approach. She will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust plans based on what helps. Figuring out the right fit is part of the work rather than a one-time decision.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to add flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging let people stay connected between sessions and share progress or quick concerns without waiting for the next appointment.
