About Theresa
Theresa Kibbe is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 21 years of clinical experience supporting people through a range of challenges.
Background and approach
She works with concerns including addictions, trauma and abuse, eating and food-related issues, stress and anxiety, depression and bipolar mood concerns, grief, anger, and family or relationship difficulties. Her practice also addresses patterns such as codependency, communication problems, control issues, and struggles with self-esteem and body image.
Theresa emphasizes a collaborative approach that recognizes each person as the expert on their own life while drawing on evidence-based methods to create change. Her work blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with trauma-informed tools such as EMDR and somatic techniques when helpful, tailoring methods to a client's goals and readiness.
She strives to help clients build practical skills, increase resilience, and navigate life transitions with greater clarity and self-compassion. Beginning therapy can feel daunting, and Theresa aims to make that first step feel supported and intentional.
She invites prospective clients to consider their strengths and values as starting points for work together, offering steady guidance through recovery, healing, and personal growth.
Integrating trauma-informed methods with flexible online care
Theresa commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR as part of her online offering. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and disordered eating, while EMDR uses guided bilateral stimulation alongside memory processing to help resolve distress from traumatic experiences.Choosing the right therapeutic approach is collaborative; the therapist will work with each client to consider their goals, history, and comfort level, and may combine methods such as somatic techniques or trauma-focused strategies when appropriate. This process helps tailor sessions to what is most useful for the individual rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which support scheduling flexibility and access from different locations. These formats allow clients to engage in regular skill-building, processing, and check-ins in ways that fit their daily lives, making it easier to maintain momentum between sessions while working toward personal recovery and growth.
