About Teresa

Teresa Worthy is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Mississippi with 21 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship concerns, parenting strain, trauma and anger. Teresa helps people who are coping with ADHD and career or life changes too.

Her approach blends several practical methods so sessions are interactive and focused. She uses elements from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to teach skills for managing strong emotions. She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take manageable steps toward them.

Teresa places emphasis on respectful, sensitive conversation without labels. In a session she listens, reflects, and offers exercises and behavioral strategies you can try between meetings. She also works with people affected by domestic violence and ongoing grief issues, offering steady support while addressing immediate safety and coping needs.

Over two decades of practice has given her experience with both long-standing patterns and sudden life events. She incorporates emotion-focused techniques when relationship issues and intimacy concerns are central. She also uses practical coaching-style feedback when clients want concrete plans for change.

If someone wants to explore starting work with her they will complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How sessions work

Therapeutic methods and online sessions

Teresa commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and practicing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or anger. ACT encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that align with personal values.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as needed so sessions feel useful and practical.

Confirm the session formats available before booking through the online therapy options button and the matchmaking questionnaire. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so clients can use a lunch break or pause between commitments. The therapist and client will decide together how to structure sessions to suit daily life and therapeutic goals.
