About Teresa

Teresa Worthy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with 21 years of clinical experience. She sees people dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, addiction, parenting stress, trauma, ADHD, and other life challenges.

Her style is interactive and respectful. She avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on real conversations about what is happening now. Sessions aim to help people name strong emotions, find clearer priorities, and try practical changes that fit daily life.

Teresa draws on several approaches to guide her work. Emotionally-Focused Therapy informs how she looks at emotional patterns and attachment concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps uncover unhelpful thinking and build new skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports values-based choices, and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy are used when helpful.

She has particular experience supporting people affected by domestic violence and those coping with grief, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and the fallout from separation or divorce. Teresa also offers help for intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, anger, career concerns, and managing co-occurring conditions.

Conversations in sessions are practical and focused. Teresa works with each person to set clear goals and to test small changes between meetings. International clients may be served; sessions are conducted in English. For session options and scheduling, the site matching process is the next step.

How Teresa blends approaches for online work

Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on emotions and attachment patterns. It helps people name hard-to-identify feelings and see how those feelings shape their responses in relationships and daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and offers practical techniques to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Teresa works collaboratively to match methods to each person’s goals and preferences. She will discuss whether EFT, CBT, ACT, or other elements are the best fit and adjust as needs change.

The biography did not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes ongoing care possible for international clients who connect in English. The therapist and client decide together how sessions will be scheduled to fit everyday life.
