About Theresa
Theresa Yucel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She draws on years of hands-on clinical work to guide clients through hard moments. Her aim is to build a trusting, nonjudgmental relationship so people can make steady progress.
She earned a Master of Arts in Counseling from Northwestern University and holds LPC credentials in Texas and Louisiana. Theresa spent time in an inpatient psychiatric hospital doing crisis work for three years.
Background and approach
That work included helping people at immediate risk and supporting short-term stabilization. Since 2015 she has worked full time in behavioral health. She shifted from inpatient crisis care to outpatient settings, including group therapy for adults and older adults.
Theresa has experience helping people cope with adjustment issues, grief, and loss. Her practice mixes clear, task-focused methods with attention to personal history and feelings. Theresa uses client-centered work to hear what matters most to each person.
She pairs that with cognitive behavioral techniques to address anxious thoughts and unhelpful patterns. Theresa also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past patterns affect current choices, and solution-focused strategies to set short-term goals. She helps with boundary setting, self-care, relationship concerns, parenting stress, and managing panic and social anxiety.
Theresa works in Texas and conducts sessions in English. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Theresa uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person’s priorities. That approach means the therapist listens carefully and follows the client’s lead to understand what matters most. It is useful when people need empathy, validation, and a steady space to talk through feelings.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy or CBT to spot patterns of worrying thoughts and try small experiments to change them. CBT is practical and problem-focused, which can help with anxiety, panic, and social fears by teaching new ways of thinking and coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Theresa will talk with clients about goals and preferences and then pick methods together. That collaborative process allows adjustments over time so the plan fits changing needs and goals.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break, live chat supports quick check-ins, and text messaging lets people share thoughts between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and daily life.
