About Theresa
Theresa Yucel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Texas and Louisiana with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as depression, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, and family of origin issues. She also addresses problems like anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
Theresa trained with a Master of Arts in Counseling from Northwestern University. Early in her career she worked three years in an inpatient psychiatric hospital managing crisis situations. That experience included helping people at acute points in their mental health and running short-term interventions.
After working in inpatient care, she moved into outpatient practice and group therapy for adult to geriatric participants. She has focused on adjustment issues, grief and loss, and support for those moving through transitions. Her background includes work with older adults as well as younger people.
In sessions she emphasizes building a collaborative relationship. Conversation can include exploring family patterns that continue to affect day-to-day life, learning tools for managing anxiety and panic, and practicing clearer communication and boundaries. Theresa uses several therapeutic approaches to guide this work.
Clients can expect a mix of talking, practical skills work, and reflective exploration. Theresa describes therapy as a partnership and aims to help people manage current stressors while addressing longstanding family influences.
Approach-driven online sessions and practical support
Theresa uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person's perspective and help them feel heard while they work through family patterns or relationship issues. This approach centers on the client's experience and encourages open conversation about what matters most.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and try concrete behavior changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, depression, and for developing new coping skills to handle daily stressors.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Theresa will talk with the client about goals, preferred ways of working, and the issues they want to address. Together they choose which methods to emphasize and adjust the plan as work progresses.
