About Tressa
Tressa Henson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She supports individuals facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, trauma, and career or life transitions. Her style is direct, practical, and respectful.
Tressa draws on 17 years of experience to keep sessions focused and useful. She blends cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness and solution-focused work to help people identify patterns and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, so people leave with concrete steps they can use between meetings. She uses motivational interviewing and narrative therapy when exploring values, motivation, and the stories people tell about themselves. That helps clients clarify what matters and build momentum toward change.
Tressa emphasizes collaboration and keeps plans realistic for everyday life. Her approach also attends to physical and social factors that affect well-being, including chronic illness, aging concerns, and financial stress. She aims to reduce overwhelm and give practical tools for coping with sudden or ongoing life changes.
Tressa practices in Michigan and offers work that mixes counseling and coaching. She frames progress as small, steady shifts rather than overnight fixes. People who want clear skills, a calm presence, and a practical plan often find this style helpful.
How evidence-based approaches work online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people spot and test thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety or low mood. Online CBT sessions break problems into small steps and use homework in between meetings to build new habits.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and increase focus. In remote sessions, therapists guide brief practices and coach how to use them during stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels doable. Together they try methods and adjust the plan based on what helps most in daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for a full conversation and visual cues. Phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Chat or text messaging lets people check in between sessions or fit brief coaching into a busy day. These options make scheduling easier and let people keep progress moving from wherever they are.
