About Theresa

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas and Louisiana with 10 years of clinical experience, Theresa Yucel works with adults across a range of concerns including depression, anxiety, grief, and relationship strain. She uses client-centered, cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, and solution-focused approaches to help people make practical changes. Theresa works with adults and older adults and has a background in crisis care and group therapy.

Theresa trained at Northwestern University and holds a Master of Arts in Counseling. Early in her career she spent three years in an inpatient psychiatric setting managing crises and supporting people during acute episodes. After that she moved into outpatient work, focusing on adult and geriatric group therapy and individual concerns around adjustment, loss, and life transitions.

In sessions she leans on client-centered principles to listen and build trust, then mixes CBT skills when people need hands-on tools for anxiety or mood changes. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time, and solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals. The result is a practical blend rather than a single method.

Typical topics she addresses include stress, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, LGBT issues, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. She also works on communication problems, family of origin issues, isolation, and women’s concerns. Theresa emphasizes collaboration and clear steps that people can try between sessions.

Theresa sees English-speaking adults. Her work emphasizes steady, practical progress and thoughtful attention to both current problems and longer-term patterns. To begin, readers should confirm the current session formats before booking.

How these approaches are used in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship. In practice this means the therapist reflects what someone is saying, helps prioritize concerns, and supports the person's own goals. It is useful for people who need an attentive listener and clear direction on next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches specific skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Online CBT sessions often include short skills practice, thought records, and step-by-step behavioral experiments that can be tried between meetings. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, depression, panic, and stress management.

Theresa treats finding the right approach as a joint process. She will work with the client to choose which methods fit current goals and preferences, and may combine listening-based, skills-based, and insight-focused work over time. The plan can change as needs do, with regular check-ins about what is helping.

Session logistics vary by practitioner and are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when people need a quick review, or focused skill practice that fits into a lunch break or other everyday routines.
