About Theresa
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 21 years of experience. Theresa Kibbe helps people address addictions, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, low self-esteem, stress, anxiety, grief, anger, bipolar symptoms, and depression. She works with issues that arise from family of origin problems, caregiver strain, first responder stress, and relationship patterns such as codependency and communication problems.
Theresa views each person as the expert on their own life. She combines clear, practical work with respect for a person’s strengths. Sessions focus on identifying patterns, learning skills, and processing painful experiences so everyday functioning improves.
Therapeutically she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to name and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on EMDR, a trauma-focused method, and somatic therapy techniques that attend to bodily reactions to stress and trauma. These approaches are used to help people process past events and manage present symptoms.
In the room she aims for straightforward, goal-focused sessions. People can expect conversations about how problems show up day to day and concrete strategies to try between meetings. Theresa also works on practical communication and coping skills for recurring relationship and family issues.
Her background spans community and clinical settings across two decades. That experience informs a practice oriented toward returning people to clearer functioning and steadier moods. To begin a match, follow the platform steps to answer a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How her trauma and behavior approaches work online
Theresa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns around eating or substance use.She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, a trauma-focused method for processing painful memories and reducing the intensity of trauma-related reactions. Somatic therapy techniques are used alongside this work to help people recognize and regulate bodily responses tied to stress and trauma.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Theresa will discuss options and decide together which methods fit a person’s goals, history, and preferences. That collaborative decision can change over time as progress is made.
Confirm the session formats before booking so you know how meetings will be scheduled. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, cut down on travel time, and allow check-ins that work around work or caregiving commitments. Ask about specific scheduling and session logistics when you set up the first meeting.
