About Theresa
Theresa Farello is an Ohio LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with five years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and major life changes. She also supports those dealing with ADHD, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, and intimacy-related issues.
Theresa previously worked as a school counselor, a director of social services, and a part-time adjunct professor. That background informs her practical approach to everyday problems. She focuses on clear steps people can try between sessions and on breaking larger problems into manageable pieces.
In sessions she uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That means she pays attention to feelings and relationship patterns, listens for what matters most, and helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Conversations are direct and aimed at helping people name emotions and try different ways of responding.
Theresa has experience helping adolescents and people in their twenties and thirties navigate life transitions. She also offers support around parenting challenges, adoption and foster care concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome, first responder issues, and matters that affect hearing or vision impaired clients. Additional areas she addresses include infidelity, OCD-related concerns, personality disorders, self-harm, sexual assault and abuse, and veteran or armed forces issues.
She works in English and practices from Ohio. To begin, a person is asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Theresa uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name core emotions and relationship patterns that affect how they respond. EFT is often used when feelings are hard to name or when emotional reactions recur in familiar ways.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and responding to what the client says matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behaviour changes that reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Theresa will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and daily life to decide how to combine EFT, Client-Centered methods, and CBT. That collaborative process helps set priorities for what to focus on in sessions.
Confirm session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten a check-in when time is tight, or avoid needing travel. Many people find remote sessions useful for keeping continuity of care and for trying new ways of responding between appointments.
