About Theresa
Theresa Yucel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues such as depression, anxiety, grief, and parenting. Theresa focuses on building a trusting, nonjudgmental relationship so clients feel safe to talk about hard things.
She earned a Master of Arts in Counseling from Northwestern University. Early in her career she worked three years in an inpatient psychiatric hospital managing crisis situations.
Background and approach
That experience shaped her calm approach when people are facing big, sudden challenges. After inpatient work, Theresa moved into outpatient settings and group therapy for adults and older adults. She has helped people through adjustment problems, loss, and the stress that comes with life transitions.
She also supports those working on boundaries, self-care, and coping skills. Theresa draws on client-centered therapy to follow the client’s lead and create a respectful space. She uses cognitive behavioral strategies to help identify unhelpful thinking and try clearer options.
Solution-focused techniques are used when clients want practical steps and quicker change. In sessions she aims for straightforward conversation and practical tools. Parents reading this can expect help sorting parenting stress, managing anger, and balancing self-care with family demands.
Theresa encourages collaboration and sets goals together so progress is clear and manageable.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Theresa often combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people feel heard and to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and letting the client lead the pace and topics. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, mood, and parenting stress by identifying patterns and testing new responses.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Theresa will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. This happens together in early sessions and can be adjusted as needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face to face when a visual connection helps. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, reflective exercises, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing parenting, work, and daily life.
