About Teresa
Teresa Robertson, LMHC, LCPC, holds licenses in Florida and Illinois and has 19 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, depression, coping with life changes, LGBT concerns, family issues, trauma and abuse, parenting, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. Teresa describes her work as collaborative and draws from multiple therapeutic approaches to meet each client's needs.
She began private practice in 2014 after more than 18 years in community mental health and social service settings. She holds a master’s degree in professional counseling from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology earned in 1999. Her background includes additional graduate coursework in human sexuality, grief and loss, and trauma counseling.
Teresa uses an integrative approach. She combines client-centered methods with cognitive-behavioral techniques and mindfulness work. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy and eye movement methods where they fit a person’s needs.
In sessions she focuses on practical skills and clear goals. She talks through coping strategies for mood problems, stress responses, relationship communication, parenting challenges, and life transitions. She emphasizes collaboration and invites client input when choosing techniques.
Her community work and training informed a trauma-aware perspective on assessment and treatment. Teresa has worked with people facing disaster response, grief, and trauma-related stress alongside more common mood and anxiety presentations. She practices in Florida and conducts work in English.

How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and collaborating with the client to identify goals and priorities. It helps when someone needs a supportive conversational space and guidance for problem solving.Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses skills training and practical exercises to address anxiety, depression, panic, and mood problems.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. It can be helpful for people struggling with emotion regulation and relationship stress.
Teresa treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to decide which techniques to use based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Adjustments happen as therapy progresses so the plan stays relevant.
