About Teresa

Teresa Worthy is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Mississippi with 21 years of experience. She works with adults on problems such as depression, anxiety, stress, ADHD, addiction, relationship difficulties, parenting strains, grief, trauma, and issues related to intimacy and sleep.

Her sessions focus on practical conversation and clear strategies. Teresa prefers an interactive style that centers respect and sensitivity. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats concerns as problems to work through together.

Teresa draws from several common therapy approaches to suit different needs. She uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also applies client-centered ideas that prioritize the person’s experience and goals. Elements of dialectical behavior therapy and emotionally-focused approaches appear when emotional regulation or relationship patterns are central.

People contact her for a wide range of life changes. That includes coping with major transitions, managing chronic illness or caregiving stress, navigating blended family or divorce issues, and dealing with the impact of domestic violence. She also addresses work-related stress, career decisions, and problems with communication and commitment.

Teresa accepts international clients and provides services in English. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, complete the online matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the platform.

How Teresa uses therapy methods online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and feeling unsure about life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going, and then practicing concrete skills that reduce symptoms and improve daily routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Teresa will discuss options and help decide what fits the client’s goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs shift over time.

This profile does not list specific session formats here, so confirm the available online meeting types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into study, work, or caregiving schedules. It can also let people check in more quickly during busy weeks, use shorter sessions for focused skill practice, or avoid travel time on a tight day. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises to online appointments so clients can practice skills between sessions.
