More about Terese
- 24 years' experience

- LMFT
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist living in the Bay Area in California. I have been licensed for 24 years and most of my work has been with working with high school students and their families. I am also a former social worker working with foster children and their foster families. For the past 17 years I have been working as a school counselor at an Alternative Education site in the Bay Area and my daily work consisted of working with adolescents who had a variety of issues that h impacted their academic life. My students were working through many obstacles such as school phobia, stress and anxiety, depression, family, and substance abuse issues. Starting in the 2024-2025 school year I will be working as a school counselor at an elementary school presenting classroom presentations on bullying, inclusion and coping strategies as well as facilitating support groups. I am excited to work with school age children and their parents.
I strive to use a client-centered approach in working with individuals and I also like to include art and journaling as a way to explore issues. I offer a safe container for you to share and I am honored that you are open to working with me.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Terese is one of the most sincere, honest and level headed people i have met. I always feel encouraged to share and provided with great ideas for boundaries. She is so encouraging and warm hearted!
Terese Ghilarducci is an amazing therapist. I feel that she has been such a benefit to my life. I have learned new coping skills and ways to help myself through issues. I loved my counseling experience and I have been able to work through much of my past issues with anxiety and traumatic relationship.
I love my therapy with Terese! She listens, remembers facts from my life, and feels like she truly cares to help me. After a few sessions, I already feel better and feel like I can discuss anything with her. She is really engaged in our sessions and always values my feelings. Terese is the kind of therapist that I can fully trust and never feel embarrassed. I love her professional advice and the way she listens. I would highly recommend working with Terese Ghilarducci!
Therese is amazing, insightful, loving and capable.
I’m grateful
She's amazing! So insightful, patient, loving. She's been a huge blessing in my life. I've had many therapists and she by far is one of my favorites. Highly recommend her!
This is my first time trying out therapy and it’s been a great experience!
Terese is not only a comforting and supportive therapist, she is also very attentive and supplies both space to express and useful, gentle tools to cope.
She is utterly brilliant and has really helped me reframe my anxieties and worries. She asks questions that allow me to see things differently but also gives me time to talk and lay things out. Signing up for Better Help and having her as my therapist has honestly changed my life.
In my year working with Terese she has helped me so much. Being able to talk through my issues and have someone ask questions, make suggestions and help me see things from different angles has been so useful. I have learnt to reframe events and feelings and it has massively reduced my overall anxiety.
Terese is exactly who I was looking for. She is wise, intelligent, nonjudgmental, and not someone to tell you what you think you want to hear. She’s someone who lets you process and what you need to hear is revealed. I’ve grown so much in the last few months of working with her. I look forward to our meetings every week and feel so lucky to have been matched with Terese.
Terese has been great!
Terese has been responsive and extremely helpful. She offers a safe space free of judgement and full of support and helpful guidance.
She had been brilliant in helping me retrain my brain to think about my anxiety and things that worry me, and to recognize that my feels are valid and it's ok to feel them.
