About Teresa
Teresa Worthy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with 21 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, addiction, trauma and abuse, ADHD, grief, and parenting strains. She also supports those dealing with sleep problems, anger, career stress, bipolar concerns, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related issues.
Her sessions use practical, structured methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and client-centered work. She focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, testing different responses, and learning skills that help day-to-day functioning. Conversations are interactive and goal-oriented, with concrete steps between sessions.
Teresa has worked with people affected by domestic violence and those managing chronic pain, illness, or disability. She also addresses issues like abandonment, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, and divorce or separation. Her approach avoids stigmatizing labels and keeps the work focused on practical next steps.
People who come for therapy with her can expect a mix of skills practice, exploration of relationship patterns, and emotion regulation strategies. She combines brief behavioral experiments with attention to feelings and relationship dynamics. Over time the work often shifts from coping strategies to longer-term patterns that underlie repeated problems.
Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. Teresa asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment so she can recommend the best path forward.
How Teresa uses CBT, ACT and client-centered work online
Teresa often blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and client-centered techniques. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors through concrete exercises. It suits problems like anxiety, sleep issues, and depression where changing patterns of thinking and behavior matters.ACT emphasizes values and committed actions. It helps when someone wants to live in line with what matters despite difficult feelings. Client-centered techniques create a collaborative conversation that centers the person’s experience and priorities rather than imposing a preset plan.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Teresa will discuss goals, try practical strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which mix of CBT, ACT, or client-centered work fits their needs and preferences.
