About Theresa
Theresa Kibbe is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 21 years of clinical experience. She works with people struggling with addictions, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, low self-esteem, stress, anxiety, grief, anger, mood issues, and relationship-related problems including codependency. She also supports people facing life changes, caregiver strain, and family of origin difficulties.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. She leans on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try new responses. She also uses trauma-focused methods and somatic work to address how stress and past events live in the body. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is part of the toolkit when traumatic memories need focused attention.
Sessions center on what the person brings and the goals they want to reach. Theresa treats clients as the expert on their own story and helps them build on strengths. Conversations focus on clear skills for setting boundaries, managing urges, and changing patterns like people-pleasing.
She aims to make beginning therapy simple. People first fill out a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and the practice uses a cancellable subscription model for sessions.
Theresa offers services in English and does not accept international clients. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking to ensure the format meets their needs.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Theresa commonly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused approaches into her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift thinking patterns that lead to distress and unhelpful behavior. It often involves practicing new ways of responding to thoughts and situations to reduce anxiety, low mood, or self-defeating habits.Trauma-Focused Therapy and EMDR are used when past events continue to affect daily life. Trauma-focused methods help people process painful memories and reduce their emotional hold. EMDR is a structured approach that targets specific traumatic memories and the reactions they trigger. Somatic therapy is also part of her practice and focuses on how stress shows up in the body, teaching grounding and gentle body-based strategies to reduce overwhelm.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and she will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision is based on the client's needs, comfort level, and what they want to accomplish.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, trauma-focused techniques, EMDR planning, and somatic exercises for remote sessions when appropriate.
