About Thérèse
Thérèse Fletcher is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 13 years of experience. She helps people facing relationship strain, grief, anxiety, stress, parenting challenges, addiction concerns, and life transitions. She also supports those coping with career questions, sleep problems, anger, and mood issues.
Her background includes long work in urban medical and social service settings. She has worked with vulnerable populations and has supervised and trained other social workers. That experience informs a practical, down-to-earth approach to common family and personal stresses.
In session she uses clear, goal-focused methods. She combines client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused practices. She will work with clients to set concrete goals and small steps to try between meetings.
She also draws on mindfulness and narrative techniques to help people notice patterns, rethink stories they tell themselves, and manage difficult emotions as they come up. That mix allows both short-term problem solving and longer emotional processing, depending on what someone needs.
Thérèse frames therapy as a respectful collaboration. She offers accountability and practical methods, and she aims to help people build skills they can keep using after sessions end. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's perspective. In online sessions this means the therapist pays attention to what matters to the client and uses that input to set meaningful goals and next steps.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It gives practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues.
Mindfulness therapy helps people notice moment-to-moment experience and reduce reactivity. Short breathing or awareness exercises can be practiced between sessions to support better sleep, anger management, or emotional ups and downs.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Together they adjust methods as therapy unfolds so sessions stay focused and relevant.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since the profile does not list them. Online care can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Clients should discuss practical arrangements up front so sessions match their schedule and situation.
