Theresa Cloyd, LPC

Theresa Cloyd, LPC, uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, and self-esteem concerns. She offers straightforward guidance and skills that parents can use right away. Sessions focus on concrete tools and clear steps toward feeling steadier day to day.

Theresa combines cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered care. She listens first, then helps people test different ways of thinking and acting to reduce distress. When emotions run high, she adds skills from dialectical behavior therapy to help handle intense feelings and strong reactions.

Theresa has six years of clinical experience working with mood disorders, personality-related challenges, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and other stress-related problems. She favors short, doable strategies that fit into busy family life rather than long, abstract approaches. Homework is practical and tied to real situations at home and work.

In sessions she uses plain language and step-by-step plans. Conversations are collaborative - she helps people set small goals, practice new skills, and notice what changes. She also draws on mindfulness and motivational interviewing to support commitment and emotional awareness.

Theresa practices in Arizona as an LPC, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make ongoing care easier to fit into a routine.

How CBT, Client-Centered Care, and DBT work online

Theresa uses cognitive behavioral work to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT sessions focus on skills you can practice between meetings to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. Client-centered therapy means sessions begin with listening and reflecting so goals come from what matters most to the person. That approach supports building motivation and trust while keeping the focus on the client’s priorities. Dialectical behavior therapy contributes skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal responses when feelings are intense.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the process. Theresa will work collaboratively to figure out which tools fit a person’s needs, goals, and day-to-day schedule. She often combines methods so people get practical strategies, emotional skills, and steady support rather than a single fixed technique.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options help fit sessions into work breaks, busy family routines, or times when a shorter check-in is preferred.
