She brings 11 years of experience working in outpatient settings and hospice-related care, and she currently provides therapy from Michigan.

Therese listens for the problems that are making life harder. She helps people name what’s causing their distress and choose small, realistic steps they can try.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on usable skills for sleep, self-esteem, anger, grief, and everyday coping. Her background includes outpatient counseling across the lifespan and work with Medicare-funded behavioral health programs. She also has experience with hospice and end-of-life conversations and the feelings those situations bring.
That variety shapes a calm, steady style in sessions. Therese uses mindful practices and mind/body activities like gentle movement and walking to support emotional work. She also talks with people about sleep routines and nourishing habits so energy and mood can improve.
The emphasis is on simple changes that fit into real life. Therese aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space. She offers a range of ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
People who want practical strategies and steady support often find this style helpful.
Practical therapeutic approaches and online care
Therese often uses mindfulness practices to help people notice thoughts and physical sensations without getting overwhelmed. Mindfulness can reduce reactivity and make daily stress feel more manageable. She also incorporates simple mind-body activities such as walking and gentle movement to connect breath, movement, and mood; these techniques can help with sleep, anxiety, and energy regulation.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and try different strategies together, adjusting what doesn’t fit and keeping what helps. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so the plan matches their needs and daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy schedule. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when video is not possible, live chat can be useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people connect from home, the workplace, or wherever is most convenient and allow flexibility around work and family commitments.
