About Theresa

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 14 years of experience. Theresa Mayhew helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, addictions, family issues, grief, parenting, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.

Theresa works in clear, concrete ways. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), the Gottman Method, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to address problems people bring. Sessions focus on practical skills, behavior changes, and steps that can be tried between meetings.

Theresa draws on experience gained over more than a decade in clinical work. She blends problem-solving techniques with skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication. That means learning tools for mood management, managing cravings and addictive behavior, and handling difficult conversations.

In sessions she usually sets small goals and checks progress each week. Therapy can include teaching coping skills, rehearsing new communication habits, and planning concrete actions to try at home. She also works through the effects of trauma and helps people process painful events while pacing the work to the person's readiness.

Theresa offers help in English and accepts international clients. She uses a subscription-based model for sessions that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people follow the platform steps to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Theresa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change mood and reduce anxiety or depression. DBT teaches specific emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills for managing strong feelings and impulsive reactions.

She approaches choice of method as a collaborative decision. The therapist and client look at problems, goals, and preferences together and try approaches that fit the person's needs. Adjustments are made over time based on what is working and what is not.

Session formats are not listed here, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some approaches lend themselves to skills practice and brief between-session tasks, which can be convenient in remote work. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and which way of meeting best supports the work during the initial scheduling steps.
