About Teresa
Teresa Stump-Klinger is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with three years of practice as an LCSW. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, family and parenting concerns, self-esteem, grief, coping with life changes, coaching, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, communication and family problems, fatherhood issues, life purpose, veteran and armed forces issues, and money problems.
Teresa uses client-centered work alongside cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior techniques. She also draws on existential ideas and motivational interviewing when it fits a person’s goals. Sessions are conversational and interactive, with an emphasis on practical steps people can try between meetings.
Her style is straightforward and down-to-earth. She combines talking through problems with experiential elements so people can practice skills in the session. She describes herself as part coach and part accountability partner for people wanting concrete change.
Teresa pays attention to physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual factors when they matter to a client. She helps people name strengths and build on them while addressing immediate stressors. Work may include problem solving, skill-building, values reflection, and goal-setting.

Therapeutic approaches you may try in online sessions
Teresa works from client-centered principles that focus on a person’s goals and strengths. This approach involves listening, reflecting, and helping people shape the topics they want to work on, which can be useful for relationship, parenting, and life change concerns.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep stress and anxiety active. CBT sessions often include clear steps and practice tasks to change unhelpful thoughts and routines.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills may be used for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. These skills are practical and can be practiced in short exercises during sessions and between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Teresa will collaborate with the client to choose which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress and challenges arise.
If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the exact session formats available before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time, and let people practice skills from familiar routines. A therapist will discuss pacing, homework, and how to structure sessions so they fit daily schedules.
