About Teresa
Teresa Adams, MS LPC, is a licensed professional counselor in Mississippi with 16 years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationships, marriage, family concerns, and related stressors such as anxiety and depression. She also helps people with parenting challenges, intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem, and life transitions.
Teresa draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also uses the Gottman Method for relationship work and practical communication skills. Sessions emphasize clear steps and concrete skills rather than long, abstract conversations.
Her background includes a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy and years working directly with relationship issues. Teresa has completed continuing education on anxiety, depression, stress, conflict, communication, and sexual issues. She and her husband have coauthored a marriage manual that reflects a practical, skill-based approach to common relationship problems.
In meetings she asks direct questions about patterns that keep problems going. She helps people identify small changes that make daily life more manageable. She supports work on parenting, blended family situations, adoption and foster care concerns, and adult family-of-origin issues.
Teresa accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Her stated additional focus areas include aging and geriatric issues, fertility and fatherhood concerns, hospice and end-of-life counseling, infidelity, and questions of life purpose and forgiveness.
How Teresa uses CBT and the Gottman Method online
Teresa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, low mood, and reactive behavior. CBT sessions focus on concrete steps - noticing a thought, testing it, and practicing an alternative response - which can fit into short, regular sessions.The Gottman Method is used to address relationship communication and conflict. It involves structured exercises to improve listening, reduce criticism, and rebuild trust through specific interaction skills useful for couples and partners.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Teresa will review a client's goals and preferences and suggest whether CBT, Gottman work, or a combination is most practical. That decision is made together and can be adjusted as progress is tracked.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online session types before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit into a lunch break, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins that focus on skill practice. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and communication practice to an online setting so skills are practiced between sessions.
