About Thérèse
Thérèse Fletcher is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 13 years of experience. She focuses on practical, everyday support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and life transitions.

Background and approach
She offers both short-term, solution-focused work and longer-term emotional processing. In sessions she helps people break big problems into manageable steps. Thérèse uses tools from client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
She also draws on mindfulness and narrative techniques to help people notice patterns and reframe difficult stories about themselves. Her additional focus areas include caregiving stress, adoption and foster care concerns, aging and end-of-life issues, codependency, and women's issues. She also supports people facing medical challenges such as cancer and hospice-related stress, and those coping with financial strain or career uncertainty.
Thérèse offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions are available in English and she accepts international clients. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the platform.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Thérèse combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral methods to help people manage symptoms and make practical changes. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening, respect, and building trust so clients can identify what matters to them and set personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses concrete exercises to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and change unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. She works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and day-to-day life. That means trying techniques, reviewing how they feel, and shifting course when something isn’t working for the client.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client work visually through exercises and skills. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or for a simpler check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, homework prompts, and ongoing accountability between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to maintain continuity when life changes.
