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 experience. She has been in private practice since 2014 and has a long history working in community mental health and social service settings. Teresa helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, parenting concerns, and relationship strains.

She earned a master’s degree in professional counseling from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology in 1999 and completed additional graduate-level work in human sexuality, grief and trauma counseling. Teresa studied trauma-informed care and completed coursework and training related to EMDR, clinical trauma practice, psychological first aid, and community preparedness through FEMA.

Her approach is integrative. She draws from client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness techniques, and trauma-focused practices. In sessions she talks through current problems, identifies patterns, and teaches practical skills for handling stress, mood shifts, and difficult reactions.

Teresa has worked with people managing mood and behavior challenges such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and panic. She also supports those dealing with family problems, blended family issues, divorce and separation, parenting strain, and grief or loss. She attends to social and cultural context when shaping treatment.

People can expect a collaborative style where their input guides the work. Teresa focuses on building coping skills, improving communication, and helping clients gain clearer insight into their responses to life changes and stressors.

How sessions work

How Teresa adapts approaches for online work

Teresa commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in her practice. Client-centered work focuses on listening closely and building understanding so a person can discuss stresses and family concerns openly. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, mood shifts, and everyday problems.

She also applies trauma-informed practices when relevant, using techniques that address how stress affects the body and thinking. These approaches can help with grief, trauma responses, panic symptoms, and relationship stress. Teresa discusses options with each person and adjusts the methods to fit current needs and goals.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Teresa will ask about what feels most useful, try different techniques as needed, and invite feedback so the work stays aligned with the client's priorities. That shared planning helps shape short-term goals and the skills taught in sessions.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm which formats are available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can use these options to focus on practical skills, communication work, and coping strategies that carry into everyday life.
