About Teresa
Teresa Robertson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who guides people through stress, grief, anxiety, relationship challenges, mood concerns, and transitions.
Background and approach
With 19 years of clinical experience and independent practice work in Illinois and Florida since 2014, she blends practical skills with an emphasis on understanding how stress and trauma affect thinking and behavior.
Teresa’s practice addresses a broad range of concerns including parenting, family and blended family issues, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and identity-related matters such as LGBT and women’s issues. Her training includes a master’s degree in professional counseling from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology and additional graduate coursework in human sexuality, grief and trauma.
Teresa has completed EMDR training and coursework in trauma-informed care, psychological first aid, and community preparedness, which inform her work with clients who have experienced trauma or major life disruption.
She uses an integrative approach, pulling from client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and trauma-focused methods to match interventions to each person’s needs and cultural context.
Online Approaches That Support Change
Teresa commonly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and client-centered techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical coping skills, while also emphasizing empathic listening and collaboration to shape goals and treatment. CBT focuses on how thoughts and behaviors influence mood and equips people with concrete strategies for managing anxiety, depression, panic, and mood fluctuations, among other concerns. Client-centered therapy prioritizes the person’s perspective and strengths, creating space for exploration and self-directed growth.She also draws from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills when emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, or distress tolerance are central goals; DBT offers structured tools for managing intense emotions and improving communication. Choosing the best approach is collaborative: the therapist will discuss preferences, goals, and the nature of presenting problems and then tailor methods so they fit the client’s needs and cultural context.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to access care from home or while traveling. These formats offer scheduling flexibility and multiple ways to stay connected between sessions, helping clients maintain momentum and use therapy in ways that match their daily life and responsibilities.
