About Theresa
Theresa Revans-McMenimon is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in New York with 18 years of experience. She focuses on relationship strains, family concerns, parenting challenges, blended family issues, and life transitions. Theresa works with individuals who want clearer communication, better boundaries, and practical ways to handle day-to-day stress in family life.
Theresa asks clients to start by naming their needs and wants. She helps people reflect on their reactions and patterns before moving to direct conversations with partners or household members. The emphasis is on straightforward skills - speaking, listening, and reflecting - to reduce misunderstanding and conflict.
Her background includes work with special needs and transition issues, and she developed a program called Transition Boot Camp that was featured in The Journal News and Arclight Magazine. Theresa has experience supporting people facing anxiety, career shifts, parenting strains, and midlife questions. She also addresses concerns related to ADHD, intimacy, addictions, and finances.
Theresa uses practical methods to set goals and try new behaviors between sessions. She may suggest small experiments, role practice, or steps to strengthen everyday routines. Clients are encouraged to notice what works and adjust plans as they go.
Theresa reserves the right to refer someone elsewhere when a different approach would be more helpful. People who choose her can expect plainspoken guidance focused on clearer communication and workable next steps.
Therapeutic approaches and online work
Theresa draws on client-centered therapy to focus on the person's own goals and experiences. This approach involves listening closely, reflecting back what the client says, and helping them make choices that fit their life. It is useful for relationship and self-esteem questions where clear personal priorities matter.She also uses solution-focused therapy which emphasizes small, practical steps toward change. Sessions often identify one or two achievable goals and try short experiments between meetings. This method can help with communication skills, parenting routines, and dealing with specific day-to-day problems in a blended household.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Theresa will discuss options and help decide which methods match the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Licensed professionals often adapt techniques like role practice and homework to the online setting so clients can try changes between meetings without rearranging their whole day.
