About Teresa

Teresa Robertson is a licensed counselor who aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood changes, and life transitions. She brings 19 years of clinical experience and a calm, practical style to conversations about parenting, relationships, grief, ADHD, and career pressures. Teresa uses clear language and straightforward tools so clients can try changes between sessions.

She earned a master’s degree in professional counseling from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology in 1999 and holds LMHC and LCPC licenses in Florida and Illinois.

Background and approach

Teresa worked in community mental health and social services before moving into independent practice in 2014, so she is familiar with a wide range of everyday challenges people face. Teresa blends several approaches to match each person’s needs rather than sticking to one method.

She draws from client-centered work, cognitive-behavioral ideas, mindfulness techniques, dialectical skills, and trauma-focused methods to build practical plans for coping and change. She also pays attention to how stress affects thinking and behavior. Sessions focus on the client’s goals and strengths.

Teresa invites feedback and adjusts techniques as people try them out. That collaborative style helps clients develop skills for managing panic, low mood, relationship conflict, and the overwhelm of daily life. Teresa offers online care from Florida and works in English.

Her background includes work with grief, trauma and abuse, bipolar and mood disorders, social anxiety, parenting and blended family issues, and related life stressors. Practical problem solving and steady support are central to her therapeutic work.

How Teresa’s Approaches Work Online

Teresa uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person’s goals and values, listening carefully and shaping sessions around what matters most. That approach helps when someone needs a supportive place to talk through decisions, relationship strain, or identity questions.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try concrete behavior changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood regulation because it breaks problems into manageable parts and teaches practical skills.

The therapist views finding the right approach as a team effort. She will work with the client to decide which techniques to try first and adjust them based on how well they fit the client’s goals, preferences, and life context. Teresa invites feedback and makes changes as needed so the plan stays useful.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make counseling easier to fit into daily life. Video is good for a face-to-face feel, phone works when bandwidth is limited, chat can suit shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people share thoughts outside fixed appointment times. These options support flexibility in scheduling and help people keep consistent progress with therapy.
