Theresa Yucel, LPC

Theresa Yucel is a Licensed Professional Counselor who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She combines direct strategies with a warm, straightforward style so clients can make changes in everyday life.

Theresa has worked in mental health since 2015. Early in her career she supported people at an inpatient psychiatric hospital, helping during crisis moments. She later moved into outpatient and group settings focused on adults and older adults, including geriatric group work.

Her practice emphasizes clear skills for coping and self-care. Theresa helps people set healthier boundaries, handle grief and loss, and navigate major life changes. She also addresses concerns like panic attacks, low self-esteem, anger, and issues tied to family of origin.

Theresa draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with client-centered and psychodynamic ideas to tailor sessions to each person. She uses solution-focused techniques to set concrete goals and track progress over time. Sessions are collaborative and aimed at practical steps you can use between meetings.

Theresa holds LPC credentials in Texas and Louisiana and works with adults across a range of challenges, including women's issues, LGBT concerns, bipolar mood management, parenting strain, and career stress. Her aim is to build a trusting, nonjudgmental space where people can revive their coping and move forward.

CBT and Practical Approaches for Online Care

Theresa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; CBT is useful for anxiety, panic, depression, and many stress-related problems. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so clients feel heard and can explore concerns at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Theresa will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as progress is made. The process is conversational and goal-oriented, with practical homework when it helps.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets you see facial cues and do longer therapy work, phone can be less bandwidth intensive, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and access consistent care from wherever you are in Texas.
