About Teresa
Teresa Longo is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 20 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and relationship or family concerns. She also supports people facing addiction, grief, trauma and a range of life changes.
Teresa uses straightforward conversation to help clients name what is happening and decide what they want to change. She listens for patterns that keep people stuck, such as people-pleasing or losing themselves in relationships. Sessions focus on making small, doable shifts in thinking and behavior so life becomes more manageable.
Teresa draws on client-centered work to let clients set the pace and topics. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Existential ideas are used when people want to examine values, meaning, and choices in their life.
Her approach is practical and direct. She helps clients develop clearer boundaries, manage strong feelings, and cope with stressors that affect daily life. Teresa talks through concrete steps for handling conflict, setting limits, and reducing overwhelm.
People who come to her often want relief from intense moods or recurring patterns in relationships. Teresa encourages realistic problem solving and steady practice rather than quick fixes. If someone wants to start, the first step is a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling a session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online work
Client-centered work puts the client's priorities first and aims to create room for honest talk about what matters. It helps people clarify their own goals and decide what they want from relationships and life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and for changing patterns like people-pleasing or avoidance.
Existential therapy looks at values, responsibility, and meaning. It can help when someone feels stuck by life choices or wants to rethink what matters to them.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as sessions progress. The aim is to find practical steps that feel workable for the person's life.
