About Teresa

Teresa Stebner is a licensed mental health counselor (LPMHC) with 13 years of clinical experience who focuses on a wide range of concerns including addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She emphasizes the ways family systems, past experiences, current relationships, and emotional struggles can connect, and she works to help clients recognize the strengths they already bring to the therapeutic process. Her style blends a client-directed stance with evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based techniques, and emotion-focused strategies.

Teresa describes therapy as a collaborative journey in which clients are supported to become their own advocates and to develop the skills needed to manage life changes, career challenges, caregiving stress, and other complex concerns.

Based in Delaware, she aims to meet people where they are and tailors sessions to individual needs whether the issue is a major life shift or a persistent pattern. Teresa values practical growth and self-compassion, and she welcomes conversations about how therapy might fit into each person’s story.

Using Evidence-Informed Approaches in Online Therapy

Teresa draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, substance concerns, and coping skills. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support values-driven action and to build psychological flexibility when people face painful thoughts and emotions. Attachment-Based techniques are used to explore relational patterns and to strengthen emotional connection and security in important relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Teresa works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She emphasizes client strengths and shared decision-making so the treatment plan evolves from the person’s experience and priorities.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, geographic distance, or different comfort levels with technology. These options make it possible to engage in consistent work while adapting session format to what helps the client participate most effectively.
