    About Theresa

    Theresa Cloyd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arizona who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma. She uses a practical, person-centered style to help clients build coping skills and feel more capable in daily life.

    Theresa draws on several evidence-based approaches to shape sessions around each person’s needs. She often uses Motivational Interviewing to help clients find their own reasons for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are used to teach skills for mood regulation and handling distressing thoughts.

    Sessions are collaborative and straightforward. Theresa listens first, then helps set clear goals. She supports people working through social anxiety, low self-esteem, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and life changes with step-by-step strategies rather than jargon.

    Theresa brings six years of clinical experience to her practice and aims to make therapy feel practical and useful from the first visit. She encourages small, manageable steps so progress is steady and realistic.

    People who choose her often want a warm, focused approach that pairs emotional understanding with concrete tools. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability.

  2. How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

    Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people find their own reasons to change. It focuses on listening, asking reflective questions, and strengthening personal motivation for steps forward.

    Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and acceptance. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what is said, and helps people feel heard while they sort through difficult emotions.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical techniques to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by practicing new skills between sessions.

    Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses goals and preferences, then figures out which methods fit best. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as needed.

    For online work, confirm which session formats are available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful. Many people find remote sessions let them maintain regular appointments and practice skills in their everyday routines.
