About Teresa
Teresa Vossen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 30 years of experience, licensed in New York and Virginia. She works with people dealing with stress and anxiety, grief and loss, parenting concerns, motivation, self-esteem, and life changes. Teresa communicates in straightforward language and conducts sessions in English.
Her work centers on listening first and then shaping a plan with each person. She uses conversation to identify small, practical steps clients can try between sessions. Teresa blends talking approaches that focus on current problems with strategies to change unhelpful thinking patterns.
Teresa often helps people untangle patterns that trace back to early family life and attachment. She also supports those managing blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, workplace difficulties, and issues related to autism and Asperger syndrome. Topics such as forgiveness, life purpose, and communication skills come up regularly in her work.
Therapeutic methods she uses include Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. These methods inform practical exercises, thought work, and brief goal-setting in sessions.
She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not accepted at this time.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person brings. Online sessions using this approach prioritize giving a person space to tell their story and then shaping goals together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice and change patterns of thought and behavior; in remote sessions this often means discussing specific situations and setting short homework tasks to try between meetings. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness exercises to reduce reactivity and manage stress, and these can be practiced during or between online appointments.Choosing the right mix of methods is part of the work. Teresa discusses approaches with each person and adjusts what she uses based on the client’s goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative decision-making helps keep sessions practical and focused on what the person wants to change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote appointments help fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make attendance easier without travel time. Talk with Teresa after completing the matching questionnaire to clarify which remote session options are offered and to arrange times that work with everyday life.
