About Theresa
Dr. Theresa Lewis is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of experience. She helps adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, and life transitions. She also supports people facing caregiver strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges, and issues around codependency and communication.
Theresa uses straightforward conversation to help people sort out what matters most to them. She listens to what is happening now and asks questions that point toward practical next steps. Sessions tend to focus on real-life change rather than abstract theory.
Her work draws on client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thinking and to test new behaviors. She also uses motivational interviewing to boost commitment and solution-focused methods to build on what already works. These tools are used to address everyday problems like work stress, trouble saying no, worry, and grief.
In session she aims to make time for concrete skills - things people can try between meetings to notice progress. That might include shifting small habits, practicing boundary language, or testing new ways of responding when relationships feel overwhelming. Progress is tracked in simple, observable steps rather than vague goals.
Theresa practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English. If you want to begin, follow the site's process to view online therapy options, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first appointment.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy means the therapist focuses on your experience and follows what you bring to the session. That approach supports people who feel lost in other people's needs by helping them name their own priorities and decide what matters most.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. With CBT, she helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and tries small behavioral experiments to test new ways of coping with anxiety, low mood, or codependent habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options, try a method for a few sessions, and adjust based on your goals and preferences. This collaborative process helps make therapy practical and focused on measurable steps.
Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow for shorter check-ins when a full-hour meeting is not feasible. Talk with the therapist during scheduling about which format will best match your needs and daily routine.
