About Teresa
Teresa Gehman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 30 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, eating concerns, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue. Teresa also focuses on issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, chronic illness, and caregiving stress.
Her approach is practical and straightforward. Teresa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-informed work, client-centered methods, and solution-focused strategies. Sessions look at unhelpful thoughts and habits and practice different ways of responding to them.
Teresa typically blends approaches rather than relying on a single method. She helps people identify patterns, set clear goals, and try small changes between meetings. Conversations are task-focused and aim to produce useful steps for daily life.
She has three decades of experience with a broad range of concerns, including bipolar disorder, trauma, addictions, and relationship conflict. That background informs how she structures sessions and prioritizes safety and stabilization when needed.
Teresa works in New York as an LMHC. Sessions are conducted in English. Before booking, people should confirm the current session options and formats directly so they know what is offered.
How her approaches are used in online work
Teresa draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. CBT sessions focus on concrete skills - identifying thoughts, trying behavioral experiments, and tracking progress between meetings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help people clarify values and practice mindful, values-based action when emotions are intense. ACT supports managing distress while still moving toward chosen goals. Attachment-Based Therapy informs work on close relationships by looking at patterns of connection and communication and how early experiences shape current responses.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Teresa will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their situation, goals, and preferences. She often combines techniques and adjusts the plan as progress is made, checking in about what helps and what does not.
The biography does not list specific online formats here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use these sessions to teach skills, review homework, and practice behavior change in real life without promising any particular format or outcome.
