About Teresa

Teresa Gonzalez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, FL LCSW, with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, low motivation, low self-esteem, depression, anger, and related concerns.

Teresa keeps sessions straightforward. She listens to what matters most and helps people set clear, manageable goals. Conversations focus on practical steps to reduce snapping, ease workplace frustration, and lower the build-up of resentment.

Her approach favors direct problem-solving alongside emotional check-ins. Teresa helps people name patterns, try small changes, and track what works. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood issues, attention differences, and life transitions.

She also supports people handling parenting strain, grief, career pressure, and the ups and downs of pregnancy and childbirth. Communication problems, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness or isolation are part of her caseload as well.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish for people located in Florida. Teresa describes the first session as a chance to map priorities and agree on practical next steps. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

Approaches that address anger and mood online

Teresa works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building coping skills. One common approach she uses helps people notice the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and then tests small changes to reduce reactivity; this is useful for anger, anxiety, and low mood. Another approach emphasizes practical problem-solving and routine changes to reduce stress and improve daily functioning, which can help with workplace frustration and parenting strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Teresa collaborates with each person to identify which techniques fit their goals and preferences. Together they try methods, review results, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

Confirm current session options before booking. The main practical benefit of working online is being able to fit sessions into a busy schedule, like taking a check-in during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. Online work can also make it easier to continue weekly sessions during life transitions. Ask about specific formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so you know how sessions will be scheduled and delivered.
