About Teresa
Teresa Fowler is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Michigan who helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, and relationship struggles. She also supports people facing depression, grief, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and career or caregiving strain. Teresa speaks English and American Sign Language and brings 18 years of clinical experience to her work.
She favors a person-centered style that treats people with respect and compassion. Sessions focus on practical steps and honest conversation.
Background and approach
Teresa aims to build a working relationship that feels steady and dependable while honoring each person's values. Her approach blends several evidence-informed methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take meaningful action.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used for tracking thoughts and changing unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are incorporated when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Teresa also draws on existential ideas to help people find purpose and to face life transitions with intention.
The work is collaborative - she listens, reflects, and offers feedback while clients choose what feels useful. Practical tools and small experiments are common in sessions. Therapy can include problem solving for everyday challenges, strategies for improving communication, and support through big life changes.
Teresa focuses on strengths and small, achievable changes to improve day-to-day functioning. To begin, people select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a session based on the therapist's availability.

Therapeutic approaches used in online care
Teresa uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as core tools in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions that align with those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more balanced thinking to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.She approaches online care collaboratively. Finding the approach that fits takes conversation and trial. The therapist will work with clients to choose and adjust methods based on their goals, concerns, and preferences so the plan evolves as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter conversation is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, quick problem solving, or ongoing support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
