   About Teresa

   Teresa Robertson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Florida. She brings 19 years of experience supporting people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, and life transitions. Teresa combines steady listening with practical tools to help clients move forward.

   She earned a master’s degree in professional counseling from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology in 1999 and moved into private practice in 2014 after long experience in community mental health and social services. That background means she has worked with a wide range of concerns, including mood disorders, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and adjustment after separation or loss.

   Teresa uses an integrative approach that adapts to each person. She draws on client-centered methods to center the person’s goals, cognitive-behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavior, and Motivational Interviewing to help resolve mixed feelings about change. She also incorporates elements of dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and EMDR where they fit a client’s needs.

   Her style is collaborative and respectful. She aims to help people gain insight, build coping skills, and make choices that align with their values. Teresa adjusts approaches to fit each person’s background and current circumstances.

   Sessions are offered in English and conducted from her Florida practice. Prospective clients are encouraged to follow the site prompts to start the matching process and schedule according to availability.

2. How therapeutic approaches guide online work

   Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people clarify their reasons for change and resolve mixed feelings. It’s often useful for goals like improving routines, managing mood symptoms, or making health-related changes.
   
   Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead, offering empathy and reflection to help them identify their own priorities and strengths.
   
   Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful thinking and build steadier routines for anxiety, depression, and mood challenges.
   
   Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then tailor techniques collaboratively rather than imposing a single method.
   
   If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person visit isn’t possible. They also let people use talking or video-based options depending on comfort and bandwidth. Ask about the specific session options during the matching process so scheduling fits your routine and needs.
