About Thérèse
Thérèse Fletcher is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Illinois with 13 years of experience. She focuses on relationship concerns, grief and loss, self-esteem, stress and anxiety, and other life changes. She also works with issues connected to family of origin, adoption and foster care, caregiving stress, and women's issues.
She has spent much of her career serving highly vulnerable communities in urban settings and has clinical experience in medical and social services. That background includes supervising and training other social workers. Her work spans short-term solution-focused help and longer-term emotional processing depending on the person’s goals.
In sessions she uses a mix of client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, narrative methods, and solution-focused strategies. She helps people set practical goals, notice patterns that keep causing problems, and try different ways of responding. Typical topics include coping with midlife shifts, career stress, grief, mood concerns, codependency, and anger.
She describes therapy as a collaborative process. She works with each person to develop specific methods and perspectives that can address current problems and build skills for the future. She also offers accountability while people practice new behaviors between sessions.
Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How Thérèse Uses Therapeutic Approaches Online
Thérèse combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness Therapy in online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s perspective so they can set their own goals. CBT looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical ways to test and change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy brings in attention practices to help reduce stress and improve moment-to-moment awareness, which can support anxiety, anger, and mood concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She discusses goals and preferences together and adjusts methods as progress is made. That means the first sessions often involve clarifying what matters most and trying a few techniques to see what fits best.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and let people use voice-only meetings when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Licensed professionals, including therapists like her, use these practical formats to help people manage grief, relationship issues, stress, and family-of-origin patterns while keeping sessions aligned with day-to-day life.
