About Theresa
Theresa McInnis welcomes people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or questions about self-worth. She writes plainly and listens with warmth and honesty. Theresa aims to help people find clearer direction and stronger coping skills during hard seasons.
She uses straightforward conversation and practical exercises. Theresa leans on Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's pace and priorities. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts that feed anxiety or shame, and Solution-Focused Therapy to build small, achievable steps toward change.
How Theresa works
Theresa has nine years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - working in school and in-home settings. That background shaped a broad view of daily challenges and family life without assuming any single solution fits all people. Sessions focus on real problems like communication difficulties, control issues, panic attacks, loneliness, and the search for life purpose.
Theresa pays attention to how faith and personal values shape healing when clients want to include those concerns. She encourages people to take the first step even when it feels intimidating. Theresa offers a caring, direct style that helps people set goals and try small changes.

How these approaches guide online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's priorities. The therapist creates space for a person to explain what matters most and guides the conversation without pushing a set agenda. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and offers concrete tools to change unhelpful patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, practical steps and on what works now to move toward clear goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. That process is collaborative, and plans are adjusted based on what helps most.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into a normal day. Online options can make follow-up sessions or short check-ins simpler and reduce travel time. Because this profile does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking so you know whether sessions are held by video, phone, or another method.
