About Teresa
Teresa Worthy is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Mississippi with 21 years of practice. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship struggles, addiction, ADHD, grief, trauma and codependency concerns. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, career stress, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue.
Teresa uses straightforward, person-focused counseling. Sessions are interactive and practical. She avoids labels and listens for what matters most to each person. Her approach draws from a mix of methods so she can match tools to the problem at hand.
In sessions she breaks large problems into manageable steps. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, build new coping skills, and practice stronger boundaries. She also addresses patterns that keep someone putting others first or losing themselves in relationships.
She has long experience supporting people after domestic violence and with trauma-related symptoms. Teresa also helps those navigating complicated family roles, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and life transitions. Her work includes attention to intimacy, abandonment concerns, and communication problems.
People who choose her can expect practical guidance alongside reflective conversation. She draws on ACT, CBT, DBT, EFT and client-centered ideas to create a clear plan with skills to try between sessions. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and take steps toward valued actions. It focuses on what matters to the person and on building willingness to act despite difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behavior and offers practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms and daily life, and then suggest which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made or priorities shift.
The practical benefits of online work are about fitting sessions into everyday life. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule a meeting around work, caregiving, or medical care. If you need alternatives to video, confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Therapists use the chosen approach to guide focused sessions, teach skills you can use between meetings, and check progress regularly to adapt the plan.
