About Teresa
Teresa Robertson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois with 19 years of clinical experience. She has worked in community mental health and social service settings and has been in private practice since 2014. Teresa sees adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting concerns, trauma and a range of mood and attention issues. She also lists blended family issues and communication problems among her areas of focus.
Teresa uses a mix of approaches rather than a single method. She often draws on client-centered work to follow what a person brings to a session. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also incorporates mindfulness skills to help with emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
Her background includes a master’s degree in professional counseling from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology and many years working with diverse populations. She has pursued graduate coursework in grief, human sexuality, and trauma counseling. Teresa has completed EMDR training and additional trauma-related training focused on clinical response and community preparedness.
In sessions she emphasizes collaboration and practical skills. People can expect a mix of talking, skill practice, and strategies to manage symptoms day to day. She discusses treatment choices with clients and adapts methods to personal preferences and cultural context.
Teresa notes that sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. For people in blended households, she can help with common concerns such as merging routines, co-parent communication, loyalty conflicts, and role confusion as part of individual therapy work.
Therapeutic approaches and online work
Teresa commonly uses client-centered methods that focus on listening and following what matters most to the person in the room. This approach helps people clarify priorities and make decisions about next steps. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors together and teaches practical strategies to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Teresa will talk with a person about goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past. She treats the choice of methods as a collaborative decision and may mix techniques as needed to match current concerns and strengths.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, shorten commute time, or allow a brief check-in during a work break. Therapists often adapt activities so skill practice and homework work well in an online setting, and they can suggest ways to use mindfulness and cognitive tools between sessions.
