About Theresa
Theresa Parris-Perry is a New York licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with three decades of practice.

Background and approach
She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness methods are woven in to calm intense reactions and improve focus. Her practice addresses stress and anxiety, relationship concerns, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, intimacy questions, parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem, career transitions, depression, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Theresa helps people name the problem, try small changes, and track what works. Sessions aim for useful tools rather than long theory talks. Theresa has worked in New York settings for many years and brings practical experience from that time.
Her style is supportive and straightforward. She encourages realistic goals and gradual steps toward things that feel better. Clients can expect an approach that balances listening with action.
Theresa helps prioritize what matters most and builds on existing strengths. The goal is clearer thinking, steadier emotion, and better day-to-day coping.

How Theresa blends approaches for online parenting support
Theresa combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral and mindfulness tools to tailor online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building on each person?s strengths so goals come from the client. Cognitive behavioral methods help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, anger, and parenting stress. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus during busy days.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Theresa will talk with the client about their goals, try strategies, and adjust based on results and preferences. This way the plan evolves from conversation and real-life tests rather than a fixed prescription.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face work and role-play when helpful. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or camera use feels difficult. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins, homework support, and quick coaching between meetings. These options offer flexibility for parents and busy people to fit therapy into their schedules.
