About Teresa

Teresa Worthy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with 21 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, addiction, relationship difficulties, grief, and family of origin issues. Teresa also addresses parenting stress, sleep problems, anger, career concerns, and compassion fatigue.

Her approach blends several methods to match each person's needs. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and ACT ideas to clarify values and get unstuck. Client-centered principles guide the pace of work so people feel heard while practical skills are introduced.

Teresa has long experience supporting people who have lived with domestic violence and other difficult life events. She pays attention to how past family roles and expectations continue to affect current choices and interactions. That descriptive focus can be helpful for people who notice repeated patterns that trace back to childhood.

Sessions typically involve talking through specific problems, learning skills to manage distress, and experimenting with new ways of relating. She incorporates elements of DBT for emotion regulation and EFT ideas when relationship feelings are central. The result is an active, structured process rather than long, open-ended conversation.

Teresa frames work in practical terms: identify what is getting in the way, try workable changes, and review what helps. Adults coming from complicated family backgrounds often find this mix useful for breaking repeating patterns and improving day-to-day functioning.

How Teresa's approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small actions in that direction. It can help with anxiety, depression, and stuck patterns rooted in family dynamics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, offering concrete exercises for mood, sleep, and ADHD-related routines. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so the client sets the pace and therapist responses follow the client's lead.

Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. Teresa will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that make sense for those goals. That collaboration means methods can shift as progress or challenges appear.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as this profile does not list specific delivery options. Online work can make it easier to schedule regular check-ins around work or caregiving, allow shorter phone or video check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also make introducing homework and skills practice simpler, since resources and worksheets can be shared between sessions.
