About Theresa

Theresa Farello is an Ohio-licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with five years of clinical experience who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She draws on a warm, client-centered stance to create a welcoming space where clients can explore trauma, grief, substance concerns, ADHD, and issues around identity and intimacy. Theresa aims to make vulnerability approachable and supports practical steps toward recovery and personal growth.

Her background includes work as a school counselor, director of social services, and adjunct professor, experiences that inform a flexible, strengths-based approach to therapy. Theresa incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques alongside client-centered methods to help clients build coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and address patterns that interfere with wellbeing.

Prospective clients who are ready to begin small, manageable steps toward change will find a committed professional prepared to walk alongside them through healing and renewed clarity.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Theresa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy principles to prioritize the client's experience, offering empathy and nonjudgmental support that helps people build self-awareness and confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Theresa approaches this collaboratively. She works with each person to match techniques and goals to their needs and preferences, adjusting methods as progress and priorities evolve. Clients participate in setting goals and choosing interventions so therapy reflects their values and pace.

Online therapy with Theresa is offered through flexible formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access support from home, and maintain continuity of care when life is unpredictable. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver evidence-informed techniques and supportive listening in ways that suit different lifestyles and communication styles.
