About Teresa
Teresa Worthy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 21 years of experience. She brings a calm, down-to-earth manner to sessions and focuses on practical ways to feel steadier and more in control.
She often uses mindfulness-based skills to help people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting carried away by them. Teresa also draws on acceptance and commitment approaches and cognitive strategies to help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Sessions are conversational and interactive rather than lecture-style.
Teresa has worked with people facing addiction, trauma and abuse, and the fallout from domestic violence. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, sleep problems, grief, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. Her background includes long experience helping those coping with caregiving strain, chronic illness or pain, and recovery from separation or divorce.
Her style centers on respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Stigmatizing labels are avoided and she tailors methods to individual needs. Teresa emphasizes small, doable steps clients can practice between meetings to build momentum.
People who want straightforward guidance and gentle challenge often find her approach accessible. She aims to help people build skills that fit everyday life and regain a sense of forward movement.
How mindfulness and ACT translate to online work
Mindfulness Therapy helps people learn simple noticing skills to reduce reactivity and build steady attention; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, sleep difficulty, and mood struggles. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to someone and taking small committed steps toward those values while making room for uncomfortable feelings; it often helps with depression, anxiety, and life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration so that the person sets the pace and focus of the work.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. Teresa will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then try methods that fit their situation. The plan can be adjusted as work proceeds so the approach stays relevant to the client's needs.
The profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commute time. For many people, remote work lets them practice skills in their normal routines and bring real-life examples straight into conversation with the therapist.
These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
