About Teri
Teri Isabella is a Licensed Professional Mental Health Counselor (LPMHC) with 20 years of experience helping people navigate depression, anxiety, grief, and the everyday stresses that can undermine wellbeing.
Background and approach
She emphasizes cognitive behavioral methods alongside client-centered and attachment-informed perspectives, tailoring interventions to each person’s situation while teaching practical skills such as mindfulness and self-compassion. Her work blends an appreciation for the mind-body connection with psychoeducation and emotional skill-building to address issues like self-esteem, coping with life changes, and workplace stress.
Additional areas of focus include abandonment and attachment concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and control issues, family of origin dynamics, guilt and shame, and challenges around life purpose and self-love. Teri aims to create a supportive, validating environment where clients can tell their stories and learn tools to reduce negative emotions and improve daily functioning.
She approaches treatment collaboratively, adapting strategies from CBT, DBT, existential and client-centered therapies to meet individual needs while encouraging self-compassion and practical change.
Integrating evidence-based approaches for online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and developing practical skills to change reactions and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in relationships and how those early dynamics influence current connection and emotional regulation, which can help with abandonment or attachment issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration, giving clients a supportive space to explore values, meaning, and personal goals.
Deciding which approach fits best is part of the therapeutic journey. The therapist works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals and then blends methods from CBT, attachment work, and client-centered care to create a tailored plan. This shared process helps ensure that interventions align with what feels most useful and sustainable for the individual.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to access consistent care around work, family, and daily responsibilities. These formats make it easier to practice skills between sessions and maintain continuity of support while adapting to each person’s schedule and communication style.
