More about Teresa

  • 17 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMHC

Hello!

My name is Teresa Horldt and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 17 years of experience. I began my career working with victims of domestic violence and then progressed to working with crisis intervention issues in a very busy ER setting and then to inpatient and outpatient treatment centers for substance use and mental health issues. The past 15 years I have worked with those struggling with substance use and addiction, depression, anxiety and bipolar mood disorders, personality disorders, trauma and grief and loss. I currently work as a Program Manager with a community based mental health program that reach out to people with schizophrenia, schizoaffective and bipolar disorders along with dual diagnosed.

I use an eclectic approach in counseling, to meet the diverse needs of each person. I use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to help with personality disorders and people that want to address interpersonal effectiveness, crisis management, emotional regulation and coremindfulness. I utilize Motivational Interviewing and various recovery approaches (12 step; Refuge Recovery and Celebrate Recovery) to help those with addictions . I find that CBT is very effective with mood disorders, along with Solution Focused strategies. Mindfulness is my favorite approach to help with stress reduction and trauma. I don't believe one size fits all ! I treat all my clients with unconditional regard, respect, dignity and empathy. I feel that the judgmental world has done a lot of damage to our feelings of self worth and overall happiness, so my world view is one of absolute acceptance.

I hope that you are able to find my therapy styles and experience something of interest to you. I believe that as a true partnership, I can help you achieve your goals and attain fulfillment and serenity in your life.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Teresa is a great listener, and helps me process my thoughts. She provides good suggestions, tools, and resources. I have been benefiting greatly from therapy with her.

Dec 2021

I feel there’s always been this stigma around getting therapy. I was hesitant, but didn’t know what else to do so I tried it myself. I feel that Teresa has been instrumental in helping me get through not only the larger items impacting my current state, but also day-to-day things that have been compacting my overall well-being. I was shocked to be paired with someone so in tune with me immediately after signing up for BetterHelp. She has helped me to get through the really tough times, focus on mindfulness, and be aware of my triggers. I know that if I had not been connected with Teresa that this time and these life changes I’ve been dealing with would not have been handled in appropriately or how a person in the right frame of mind would’ve handled them. I am so grateful for her expertise, clarity, advisement and recommendations, and helping me through these difficult times, and especially for helping me get back to the person I was. I’m not there yet and we still have some work to do, but I am definitely on track and in a significantly better state than I was. Thank you, Teresa!

Sep 2023

Teresa has been an amazing therapist in the past year, she has been able to help me through my anxiety when it has occurred and has also just been a great listener when I needed to vent or just talk about my week. I would highly recommend her to anyone who has any issues with anxiety or just needs someone to talk to.

Jul 2023

From the start, she made me feel comfortable. I was able to express myself, and she was very honest with me. She’s giving me mental exercises to help me cope and is always very responsive. Her expertise helps me to understand what I’m going through and helping me get through it.
