About Theresa
Theresa Ewing is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Illinois who helps people navigate anxiety, grief, stress, and major life changes. She works with individuals facing caregiver strain, relationship and family challenges, and mood concerns. Her style is straightforward and collaborative.
Theresa emphasizes practical steps and clear goals so people leave sessions with something they can try right away. Theresa brings four years of clinical experience and a longer background in healthcare settings.
Background and approach
That history shaped her focus on end-of-life concerns, hospice and hospice-adjacent care, and support for caregivers. She also supports people dealing with divorce, blended family issues, pregnancy and childbirth transitions, and illness-related stress such as cancer and aging-related concerns.
In sessions she often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which teaches coping skills for intense emotions and relationship strain. Theresa works with clients to build short-term plans and practical strategies for daily life. She emphasizes skill practice between sessions and measurable steps toward goals.
Theresa is comfortable addressing challenges like low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, loneliness, career uncertainty, and intimacy or parenting stress. People who want a clear plan and skill-based tools may find her approach helpful. She communicates plainly and keeps goals concrete.
Theresa offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Sessions follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.
How CBT and DBT work in online therapy
Theresa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on how thoughts and behaviors shape feelings and actions. In CBT people learn to notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try concrete behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. DBT techniques can help when emotions feel overwhelming or relationships are strained.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Theresa will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and daily life to decide which techniques to try first. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is most helpful for the individual.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice, while phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share thoughts between sessions and fit support into a busy day. These options help people maintain momentum and practice new skills in real time.
