About Teresa
Teresa Robertson is a licensed counselor with almost two decades of experience supporting adults through stress, anxiety, grief, and parenting challenges. She holds LMHC and LCPC credentials and practices from Florida. Teresa aims to create a calm, straightforward space where parents and individuals can talk through what feels overwhelming and find practical next steps.
Teresa blends techniques to match each person's style and needs rather than relying on a single method.
Background and approach
She uses client-centered listening to understand what matters most to the client, and cognitive-behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. Mindfulness strategies and elements of trauma-focused work are woven in for people coping with past hurt or intense stress. Her background includes many years in community mental health and social service roles before moving into independent practice in 2014.
She earned a master’s degree in professional counseling in 1999 and has completed graduate-level coursework related to grief, trauma, and human sexuality. That combined experience informs a practical, steady approach to treatment. Teresa often helps people manage life changes such as divorce, blended family issues, career transitions, and relocation stress.
She also supports clients facing mood and anxiety disorders, ADHD, relationship strain, and parenting concerns. Sessions emphasize skill-building so clients leave with tools they can use between meetings. She works collaboratively, asking for client input and adjusting plans to fit cultural and personal context.
Teresa focuses on helping people rebuild confidence, clarify priorities, and develop coping strategies that fit daily life.

How Teresa’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Teresa commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening and understanding each person's priorities so the therapist can reflect and guide without taking over. Cognitive-behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical exercises to change them.She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and parenting strain. Choosing an approach is a team decision; the therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful and then adjust methods over time based on progress and feedback.
Online therapy with Teresa is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video lets people use visual cues during skill practice, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option for quick check-ins, live chat supports focused problem-solving, and messaging is useful for brief updates or reminders between sessions. These options are meant to fit around work, childcare, and busy days while keeping continuity of care.
