About Teresa
Teresa Hess is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 10 years of clinical work. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and problems with motivation and self-esteem.
Her style is straightforward and practical. She listens, asks specific questions, and offers methods people can try between sessions. Teresa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside attachment-focused and mindfulness approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change habits.
In sessions she breaks concerns into manageable steps. For anxiety that might mean tracking thoughts and testing them with small experiments. For grief it can mean naming the loss and pacing activities that feel possible. She also supports people dealing with workplace strain, compassion fatigue, and life changes.
Teresa has worked with issues related to adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties, blended family challenges, body image, and first responder stress. She applies solution-focused and narrative techniques when people want clearer short-term goals or to reframe difficult stories about themselves.
She uses simple exercises from mindfulness therapy to help with focus and grounding. Clients can expect a mix of discussion, practical skill-building, and short take-home tasks designed to fit into everyday life.
How Teresa uses structured approaches in online sessions
Teresa commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying specific thoughts and behaviors and testing new responses through brief experiments. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and how early relational experiences shape current stress responses. Mindfulness therapy brings short exercises to increase awareness of bodily sensations and present-moment noticing.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Teresa discusses goals and preferences during the first meetings and adjusts methods based on what is working. Clients and the therapist review progress and try different techniques if needed to find a practical fit.
