    About Teresa

    Teresa Thiel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting pressures, and questions about self-worth. She speaks plainly and offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence to help clients find steady ground. Teresa aims to help people learn skills for daily life and feel more in control of their choices and emotions.

    Teresa earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Wisconsin - Madison and a Master of Arts in Community Psychology - Professional Counseling from Alverno College. She has four years of clinical experience working with a range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, grief, sleeping problems, anger, career transitions, and attention-deficit challenges. She has also supported people who experienced sexual assault trauma or emotional abuse.

    Her style is client-centered and compassionate. She listens first, then helps clients set goals and pick practical next steps. She invites honest feedback so sessions reflect what the person actually needs in the moment.

    Teresa uses several therapeutic approaches such as Motivational Interviewing and Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside trauma-focused methods when relevant. Sessions focus on building trust, increasing motivation for change, and addressing painful emotions tied to relationships or past events.

    People who choose Teresa can expect steady, person-focused support aimed at real-life improvements. She encourages small, manageable steps and helps clients track what works between sessions. The goal is clearer direction, improved coping, and a stronger sense of self.

  2. How Teresa’s approaches translate to online work

    Teresa uses Motivational Interviewing and Emotionally-Focused Therapy as part of her work. Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change and builds momentum through short, achievable steps. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying and shifting strong emotions tied to relationships and attachment so clients can respond differently in close connections.

    Finding the right approach is part of the process. Teresa works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. She listens to what matters most, tries practical strategies, and adjusts the plan based on feedback and progress.

    If you plan to do therapy online, confirm which session formats are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful. Some formats can also reduce bandwidth or allow audio-only conversations when video isn’t convenient. Ask about the current session options so you can pick what fits your routine.
