About Theresa
Theresa Revans-McMenimon is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and ADHD-related challenges. She works with adults to sort through parenting pressures, career changes, and problems with intimacy and communication. Theresa speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps clients can try between sessions.
Theresa draws on 18 years of experience in counseling to help clients improve how they talk and listen. She encourages honest self-reflection so people can name their needs and wants.
Background and approach
From there she helps clients practice clear, respectful communication with partners and family members. Her approach centers on the client’s goals. She uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to each person.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone needs a nudge to change habits or address addictions. Theresa also uses narrative and solution-focused techniques to reframe problems and build small, manageable steps toward change. That mix supports work on parenting, blended family issues, divorce and separation, and coping with life transitions.
Based in New York, she brings practical programs into therapy, such as Transition Boot Camp, which she developed to support people moving into college and careers. Theresa is a Connecticut and New York LMFT and combines experience with straightforward tools to help clients make real changes.
Therapeutic approaches that work well online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely to each person and following what they say matters most. In online sessions this means the therapist reflects back concerns and priorities so clients feel heard and can set their own goals.Motivational interviewing helps people identify reasons to change and build internal motivation. It uses open questions and gentle feedback to move from thinking about change to taking small steps, which is useful for issues like addictions, career shifts, or managing ADHD-related habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Theresa will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques as progress is made so therapy stays practical and focused on what the client wants to achieve.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls let people use visual cues and practice communication skills in real time. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a session needs to be simpler. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between appointments or to fit brief coaching moments into a busy day. These options help make consistent work possible despite tight schedules or life changes.
