About Teresa
Teresa Rodriguez is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, anger, relationship problems, grief, and work or parenting pressures. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also draws on client-centered methods to listen without interrupting and motivational interviewing to support small changes when motivation is low. Teresa focuses on clear steps clients can try between sessions.
In a typical session she asks what matters most right now and helps set one or two concrete goals. She encourages tracking thoughts and behaviors so clients can spot patterns that keep problems going. She offers guidance on coping skills for panic, managing anger, and improving everyday routines that affect mood.
Teresa has worked with people facing trauma, abuse, and post-traumatic stress as well as multicultural and veteran-related concerns. She also helps with issues like jealousy, infidelity, forgiveness work, and adjusting to life changes. Her work includes helping those managing ADHD symptoms and young adult challenges.

How her approaches translate to online work
Teresa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered techniques in her work. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying new behavior experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Client-centered work focuses on active listening and helping the client set the agenda for sessions so discussions stay relevant to immediate concerns.Motivational interviewing may be used when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. This method helps clarify personal reasons for change and builds small, achievable steps that match a person's values and readiness.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Teresa will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust those choices as progress is tracked over time.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. The online format can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins, avoid travel time, or choose sessions that do not require being on camera. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt CBT exercises and motivational interviewing tasks so they work in remote appointments, and Teresa will explain how any exercises can fit into daily life during the first sessions.
