About Teresa
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with four years of clinical experience, Teresa Thiel focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting, self-esteem, depression, trauma and related concerns. She works with people who are carrying grief, anger, sleep problems, career strain, ADHD, or major life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and grounded in practical conversation.
Teresa uses client-centered work to make sessions about the person in front of her. She listens first, then helps people set clear goals and choose next steps. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is part of her practice when relationship patterns and strong feelings need attention. Motivational Interviewing helps people who are stuck or uncertain about change. Trauma-Focused Therapy supports those dealing with past abuse or sexual assault.
In sessions she emphasizes honest feedback and a direct working relationship. People can expect a focus on communication skills, handling caregiver stress, and sorting family of origin issues. Teresa also addresses guilt, shame, isolation, and questions of life purpose.
Her background includes a BA in Psychology from the University of Wisconsin - Madison and an MA in Community Psychology - Professional Counseling from Alverno College. Those degrees supported work across depression, anxiety, ADHD, anger management, and trauma-related concerns. She holds the LPC credential in Wisconsin.

How her approaches work for remote sessions
Teresa commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the person, helping them set goals and decide next steps. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and strong emotions, useful when communication and attachment needs are the focus.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people who feel stuck or ambivalent about change. That approach uses guided conversation to identify values and build motivation. Throughout the early sessions she will collaborate with each client to decide which approach or mix of approaches fits their needs and goals.
Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also permit audio-only meetings when video would be difficult, or longer sessions when deeper emotion work is required. Teresa will work with the client to match scheduling, session length, and the therapeutic approach to everyday life and practical constraints.
