I keep coming back to her because of how helpful she is. I occasionally take time off from therapy but I always come back when time/money allow and always request Teresa. She’s the third therapist I’ve gone to and I finally found the perfect one for me. The other two were live in person and local-not on BetterHelp. Teresa is a great asset to the BetterHelp community. She’s bright me so far in a short amount of time. I could never thank her and you guys enough.
More about Teresa
- 19 years' experience
- Female
- LMHC, LCPC
I am licensed in the state of Florida and Illinois as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, LCPC. I have been in private practice since 2014, first in Illinois and currently in Florida. Prior to private practice, I worked in community mental health/social service settings for over 18 years providing a variety of counseling services to a diverse population.
I earned a master’s degree in professional counseling from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology in 1999 and recently completed additional graduate level courses in human sexuality, grief/loss, and trauma counseling. During that time, I extensively studied and researched these areas which provided me with additional skills and knowledge on trauma-informed treatment. I completed training for EMDR, Clinical Trauma Professional, Psychological First Aid, and FEMA – community preparedness.
I have worked with clients struggling with a variety of mood and behavior challenges including depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma and other stress related issues. In addition, assisted clients with concerns related to parenting, divorce, grief/loss, self-esteem, relationship problems, social/peer issues, bullying, changes/transitions, women’s issues, and work/school/family related stress.
My treatment approach is from an integrative perspective, a view of helping people that is not restricted to one approach. I draw from a variety of approaches and treatments techniques including but not limited to, psychodynamic, client-centered, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based therapy, as well as an understanding of how our brains respond to stress and trauma. I work to integrate those therapeutic techniques that are most useful with a client’s unique characters, preferences, and individual needs, as well as adjusting them to one’s social/cultural context. I will work collaboratively with you and encourage your input throughout this process.
I am committed to provide quality care where integrity and trust are top priorities. My mission is to help one gain insight, self-acceptance, and fulfillment, as well as the skills needed to thrive and succeed in life.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

She’s fantastic and reason I continue to stay
I keep coming back to her because of how helpful she is. I occasionally take time off from therapy but I always come back when time/money allow and always request Teresa. She’s the third therapist I’ve gone to and I finally found the perfect one for me. The other two were live in person and local-not on BetterHelp. Teresa is a great asset to the BetterHelp community. She’s bright me so far in a short amount of time. I could never thank her and you guys enough.
She’s amazing and I’m very lucky to have been matched up with her. Thank you very much!
I’ve had talk therapists several times in the past and, not to compare, Teresa has helped me more in a matter of months than the others have over the course of years. I’m very grateful for the financial assistance of I wouldn’t be able to afford this much needed help! Thank you immensely Teresa and Betterhelp!
Teresa is an incredibly thoughtful, patient, and insightful person. She takes her time to listen, provides reassuring guidance, and great resources to further my self-awareness. She has a very gentle and calming effect during sessions that have calmed my anxiety and helped me focus on the next right step, however small, to take. I cannot thank her enough for her guidance!
I've had 2 video sessions with Teresa so far and I feel very comfortable talking to her. I can tell that she cares about helping people. I will continue sessions with Teresa and would recommend her to anyone looking for counseling.
Teresa has been amazingly helpful with my many issues. She had such a wealth of education and experience to draw upon, I know anything that comes up is manageable with her. She’s been a lifesaver, especially during this most difficult time of a pandemic.
I find her ability to listen and provide directional feedback very helpful.
I really feel a connection with Teresa. She takes me for who I am and has given me some extremely valuable tools to get through what I’m going through in a healthy way. I greatly value her and trust what she has to say as a counselor, sounding board, and a guide.
