About Theresa
Theresa Kasman is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She brings 15 years of clinical experience and a calm, straightforward style to sessions. Theresa works with adults who want clearer direction and better coping skills in daily life.
Her approach centers on understanding how your past relationships shape current patterns. She uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds influence trust and closeness now.
Background and approach
Client-Centered Therapy guides the work by prioritizing the client's own goals and pace. Theresa also incorporates Existential Therapy when people are wrestling with life purpose, meaning, or major transitions. That work often helps with decisions around divorce, midlife shifts, or big changes in direction.
She talks through values and choices rather than offering quick fixes. Common concerns she helps people with include addictions and recovery challenges, low self-esteem, body image, and communication problems. She also addresses issues such as caregiver stress, control issues, guilt and shame, and family of origin patterns.
Sessions aim to make specific, practical steps feel manageable. Theresa creates an open-minded, nonjudgmental space where clients set the agenda. Together they clarify priorities, test small changes, and track progress.
Her practice is based in New York and sessions are offered in English.
Online therapy focused on relationships and life meaning
Theresa uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early connections affect current relationships and patterns of trust. This approach can help people who repeat the same relationship habits or struggle to feel close to others.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which puts the client's goals and perspective first. Sessions with this approach tend to be collaborative and paced to what the person needs in the moment. When questions about purpose or major life shifts come up, she draws on Existential Therapy to help clients consider values and choices more clearly.
Theresa works with each person to find the right mix of approaches based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She treats this as a team effort, adjusting methods as progress and priorities change.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone calls can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow for ongoing contact and flexibility during busy weeks. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, a caregiving schedule, or times of transition.
