About Theresa
Theresa Farello is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, ADHD, and life changes. She speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for worried parents and adults who need practical support.
Theresa emphasizes a warm, open approach where people can talk without judgment and practice being vulnerable at their own pace. She brings five years of clinical experience and prior roles in school counseling, directing social services, and adjunct teaching to her work.
Background and approach
That range shaped how she listens for the real problems behind everyday struggles like low motivation, grief, or relationship strain. Theresa helps people build small, doable routines and clearer thinking to reduce overwhelm. Her sessions often combine client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and emotionally-focused work.
That means she both follows the client’s lead and offers strategies to change unhelpful thought patterns and improve emotional connection. She uses straightforward language and concrete steps rather than clinical jargon. Theresa has experience supporting people dealing with trauma, addiction, bipolar mood concerns, eating issues, and compassion fatigue.
She also works with those navigating adoption and foster care, autism spectrum concerns, first responder stress, and veteran-related challenges. Her background in schools and social services informs a practical, resource-minded style. Theresa offers therapy through video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging to fit different schedules.
She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability. Fees vary with location and are billed through a cancellable subscription model.
Using practical approaches during online sessions
Theresa draws on client-centered therapy to follow the person’s lead, listen deeply, and create space for honest conversation. This approach helps people feel heard and decide which areas to focus on first.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small, concrete changes in thinking and behavior. CBT tools can help with anxiety, focus issues like ADHD, and low motivation by breaking problems into manageable steps.
Emotionally-focused work is used when relationship patterns or strong emotions are getting in the way. That work helps name feelings, notice patterns, and practice new ways of connecting or responding to emotional triggers.
Theresa approaches choosing a method as a team effort. She will listen to your goals and try different techniques as needed, adjusting the plan based on what helps most. The process is collaborative and geared toward practical progress rather than forcing a single method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls work well for lower bandwidth or when you don’t want to be on camera, live chat fits brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit work, school, or family schedules.
