    About Teresa

    Teresa Vossen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 30 years of professional experience. She is licensed in Virginia and New York and focuses on helping people with stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, and building self-esteem. Teresa meets people where they are and aims to make the first step feel manageable.

    She uses conversational, respectful care and adapts the work to each person’s needs. That can mean practical strategies for anxiety, talking through loss, or setting small goals to rebuild confidence. Teresa emphasizes sensitivity and compassion in every session.

    Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods, including Motivational Interviewing to build readiness for change, Client-Centered Therapy to honor each person's perspective, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses mindfulness and solution-focused techniques when those tools suit the situation.

    Teresa has worked across many settings during her career and brings that experience into sessions. She can help people who are managing life transitions, workplace stress, family-of-origin issues, attachment concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome related challenges, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and questions about life purpose.

    Conversations are tailored to personal goals. Teresa aims to help clients find practical steps that fit their lives and values. If you are ready to begin, she invites you to take the first step.

  2. Approaches that translate to online work

    Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their own reasons for change and build motivation step by step. It uses open questions and reflective listening to move a person toward goals and can help with issues like low motivation, preparation for life changes, or shifting habits.

    Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens carefully, reflects feelings, and supports the person in finding their own solutions; this approach is helpful when someone needs acceptance and a nonjudgmental space to sort things out.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It offers concrete tools for anxiety, stress, and low mood, such as tracking thought patterns and practicing small behavioral experiments.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. Teresa will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.

    Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or avoiding the need to be on camera when that helps. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to work well in remote sessions, keeping the focus on practical steps that fit everyday life.
