About Theresa
Theresa Yu is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with nine years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting concerns, depression, addictions, grief, and family-related problems. Sessions may include work on intimacy, self-esteem, career questions, and coping with life changes.
Theresa uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding. She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based ideas, Client-Centered work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). In sessions she focuses on clear strategies and skills people can use between meetings.
Her background includes roles in social work, foster and adoptive services, special education support, preschool teaching, and behavioral health case management. That experience informs work with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stress. She also has experience supporting people with autism spectrum needs and complex developmental histories.
Theresa speaks English and Mandarin and accepts international clients. She notes experience with first responder issues, domestic violence, and coping after disasters. Family of origin issues are among the topics she helps people explore when old patterns keep showing up in adult life.
Theresa describes a practical style that combines insight with tools to try right away. She encourages honest conversation and sometimes offers direct challenges to help clients move past obstacles. The aim is to develop steps a person can use to change what isn’t working.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It often focuses on small behavioral steps and can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and practical skills to change unhelpful behaviors and mood. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping with daily stressors. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns that formed in early relationships and how they show up now in closeness, boundaries, and trust. It can help with family of origin issues and relationship difficulties.Theresa treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to decide which methods make the most sense for their goals and preferences. That may mean using one approach mainly or combining techniques from several models over time.
The profile notes past experience providing online telehealth, home-based, and office-based counseling, but current session options should be confirmed before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove the need to travel. Therapists and licensed professionals can adapt tools like ACT exercises, CBT worksheets, and attachment-focused conversations for virtual meetings so people can practice skills between sessions.
