About Thérèse

Thérèse Fletcher is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Illinois with 13 years of experience. She works with people facing relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, career stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and life transitions. She also addresses caregiving stress, chronic illness, and other practical problems that affect daily life.

She has spent much of her career in urban medical and social service settings. That work included direct clinical care and supervising other social workers. She brings that background to sessions by focusing on clear goals and practical strategies.

Her approach is collaborative and client-centered. She helps people set reachable goals and builds methods to manage current concerns. She offers both shorter solution-focused work and longer term emotional processing depending on what the person wants.

In sessions she combines Client-Centered Therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness skills. Narrative and solution-focused methods are also part of her toolkit. These approaches are used to address mood concerns, stress, addictions, sleep problems, parenting strain, and anger-related difficulties.

She emphasizes respect and a strength-based outlook that aims to increase confidence and personal agency. People who come to her get practical steps, accountability, and attention to how emotional struggles link to work, relationships, and everyday tasks.

To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the service's online options. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How sessions work

How her approaches work in online sessions

Thérèse commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful working relationship so people can clarify goals and feel understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice physical sensations and automatic reactions. Mindfulness practices can reduce reactivity and aid with stress, sleep, and anger management. Together these approaches give both reflective conversation and practical exercises to use between sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to select techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Expectations and pacing are agreed together so work stays focused and manageable.
