About Tressa
Tressa Henson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 17 years of experience. She works with adults on common problems that show up at home and at work, including stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, parenting and family concerns, relationship strain, grief, trauma and life changes.
She uses practical conversations and coaching-style questions to help people sort priorities and make changes that fit everyday life. Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness ideas to notice patterns of thinking and to build different habits. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used when people want clear, concrete steps forward.
Tressa aims to make sessions straightforward and work-focused. She helps people identify goals, try small behavioral shifts, and review what helps or gets in the way. Sessions often include exercises to practice between meetings and brief behavioral experiments to test what changes feel doable.
Her background includes long-term counseling practice across a range of mood and stress-related concerns. Tressa mentions narrative approaches when clients want to reframe life events and personal stories. She also lists coaching for career and life-purpose questions alongside more traditional counseling topics.
People who are juggling parenting, work, and relationship stress will find a practical orientation in her work. Tressa serves adults in Michigan and offers services in English. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and formats.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with behavior. It can help with anxiety, depression, stress and day-to-day parenting or relationship patterns. Mindfulness Therapy involves short attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm during stressful home or work moments. Motivational Interviewing uses focused questions to clarify values and strengthen motivation for change, which is useful for career shifts, parenting goals or habit changes.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together they will try options that fit the person's needs. That collaborative process can include brief experiments or homework to see what helps between sessions.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also let someone join from a quieter location or use audio-only if video is difficult. Licensed professionals commonly adapt CBT exercises, mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing to work in remote sessions, focusing on practical steps that fit everyday life.
