Teresa Worthy, LPC

Teresa Worthy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than 21 years of experience. She offers a warm, engaged approach that focuses on listening first and then working with each person to set practical goals. Teresa emphasizes respect and compassion while helping people name their challenges and find manageable steps forward.

She helps with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. She also supports people dealing with addiction, ADHD, grief, sleep problems, anger, and the strain that comes with caregiving or chronic illness. Midlife transitions and career changes are part of her practice focus, along with intimacy-related concerns and relationship communication struggles.

Teresa uses a mix of approaches and adapts them to fit the person in front of her. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She uses client-centered methods to create space for people to be heard and to build on their strengths.

Her background includes work with survivors of domestic violence and people coping with trauma and abuse. She also supports those facing blended family issues, divorce and separation, abandonment concerns, and chronic physical health challenges. Teresa applies practical tools alongside ongoing conversation and reflection.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small steps that align with those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and major life changes by shifting attention toward meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is goal-oriented and practical; it helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practice concrete strategies to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person is heard and supported as they find their own solutions. This approach helps build self-esteem and confidence in decision making.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Teresa will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs and will recommend which methods to try. The process is collaborative and adjustments are made as progress and circumstances change.

The therapist's profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make scheduling easier, let people fit sessions into work or caregiving days, and reduce travel time. Different formats can also allow for shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require being on camera when that helps someone engage more comfortably.
