Teresa Robertson, LMHC, LCPC

Teresa Robertson is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. She draws on practical strategies so clients can handle daily challenges and feel more stable. Teresa brings 19 years of clinical experience to her work and practices in Florida.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She listens first, then helps people set small, achievable goals. Teresa blends cognitive behavioral methods with client-centered listening and mindfulness skills to address mood, trauma, and relationship concerns.

Teresa worked in community mental health and social services for many years before starting private practice in 2014. She holds a master’s degree in professional counseling from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology earned in 1999 and later added graduate coursework in grief, trauma, and human sexuality.

Her background includes training and experience with trauma-focused care and EMDR-related techniques, and she uses that knowledge when trauma and abuse are part of a person’s history. She also helps with parenting challenges, blended family issues, communication problems, and the stress of divorce or separation.

Therapy sessions focus on finding what works for each person. Teresa adapts techniques to match a client’s personality, culture, and practical needs. She encourages input from the client and adjusts strategies as progress is made.

How Teresa’s approaches translate to online therapy

Teresa commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered techniques in her online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying concrete behavior changes to reduce anxiety, panic, and depressive symptoms. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and supporting the person’s own goals while building trust and self-understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will review a person’s needs and preferences and collaborate on which methods to try first, then adjust as progress is noticed. That shared decision-making helps match techniques to concerns like trauma, relationship problems, or life transitions.

Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different practical needs. Video calls let a person work face-to-face from anywhere in Florida. Phone sessions may be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer quick ways to touch base or continue skill-building between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for people juggling work, parenting, or travel.
