About Tressa
Tressa Henson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 17 years of experience. She practices in Michigan and helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship and family concerns, and career or parenting challenges.
She keeps sessions practical and focused. Conversations often center on what is getting in the way day to day and on small, manageable changes. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas alongside mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people notice patterns and try different responses.
Her approach draws on evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means work can include identifying unhelpful thoughts, tracing how life stories shape current behavior, and setting short-term goals to test new ways of handling situations.
Tressa also brings coaching skills into sessions to help clients set clear steps and track progress. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where people practice new skills between meetings and return to discuss what worked or didn’t.
People come to her for a mix of practical skills and verbal processing - for example, managing workplace frustration, sorting through grief, or improving communication at home. She asks for specific, real-world concerns and builds from there.
Before booking, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, which can help with anger, anxiety, and depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to lower reactivity and increase moment-to-moment awareness, useful for managing snap reactions.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to clarify what a person wants to change and to build practical steps toward that goal. These methods are described and tested together so clients can see what fits. Deciding which approach to emphasize is a joint process based on the client's goals and what works in early sessions.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the profile does not list specific online or in-person options. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into busy days, make scheduling easier, and allow shorter check-ins during a work break. Talk with her after the matching questionnaire about how to structure sessions so they fit into everyday life and support steady practice between meetings.
