About Theresa
Theresa Revans-McMenimon is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in New York with 18 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, as well as young adult issues and transitions like college and early career decisions. Her work also covers parenting, communication problems, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
Theresa asks people to start by naming what they need and want. She helps clients build clearer self-awareness before they try new ways of talking with partners or relatives. This usually means practicing respectful listening and reflection so conversations change over time.
Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. In practice that looks like steady attention to each person’s experience, helping clients set small goals, and examining the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships.
She has experience supporting people through parenting challenges, blended family issues, divorce and separation, and workplace or money stress. Theresa also has background in autism and Asperger Syndrome and created a Transition Boot Camp program for people moving into college and work life.
Theresa completed family specialist training in LEND through the Westchester Institute for Human Development and New York Medical College. She may refer people elsewhere if she believes another clinician would better meet their needs.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says so they feel understood and can clarify their own goals. This helps with anxiety, relationship worries, and the confusion that comes with big life changes. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people find their own reasons to change and set manageable goals; it often suits people dealing with career moves, addictions, or low motivation.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Theresa will talk with each client about what they want to accomplish and which methods make sense, then adjust the plan based on progress and preferences. That means therapy is collaborative rather than fixed.

Talk with the therapist about what will work best for your schedule and goals so sessions can be arranged to fit everyday life.
