About Theresa
Theresa Bishop is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, codependency, relationship struggles, trauma, grief, and other mood or behavior concerns. Theresa lists caregiver stress, ADHD, and process addictions among other focus areas.
She trained in professional counseling at Carlow University. Over the past decade she has supported people dealing with addiction, bipolar disorder, panic and mood disorders, and complex grief. Her background includes work with trauma, loss, and stress-related concerns.
Theresa uses a mix of practical, evidence-based methods. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and next steps. She also uses dialectical behavior skills and motivational interviewing to support change and manage strong emotions.
In sessions she listens and stays objective. Conversations focus on concrete steps, problem-solving, and building skills to manage feelings and behaviors. Theresa talks with clients about actions and small experiments they can try between sessions.
People who have felt stuck by people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or living around another person’s drinking or moods may find this approach helpful. She frames therapy as practical work - looking for patterns, testing changes, and seeing what helps in day-to-day life.
How sessions work
How her ACT, CBT and skills work translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clarify what matters to you and encourages small committed steps toward those values. It is useful when people feel stuck by avoidance, guilt, or constant worry and want to try different behaviors. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing concrete strategies to change them. It often helps with anxiety, depression, sleeping issues and mood regulation. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills emphasize emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication for people who struggle with intense feelings or crisis moments.Theresa treats the choice of approach as a collaborative decision. She will talk through your situation, goals, and preferences and help pick which methods to try first. That plan can shift as you test what helps and what does not.
Session logistics here are not specified in the original biography, so confirm available formats before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit around caregiving, work, or busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. In practical terms this can make it easier to try regular sessions, practice between meetings, and weave skill-building into everyday life.
