About Tess
Dr. Tess DeProw is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 30 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing depression, addiction, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship and parenting concerns, grief, anger, bipolar disorder, self-esteem problems, career strain, and coping with life changes.
Dr. DeProw focuses on helping people notice patterns and try different responses. She uses conversational, goal-focused work to identify strengths and practical steps forward. Sessions often include looking at unhelpful thoughts, testing new behaviors, and building steady habits that reduce stress.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with attachment-based, client-centered, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative methods. That mix is used to match techniques to a person's needs rather than sticking to one plan. Clients can expect clear strategies and short exercises to practice between meetings.
She emphasizes collaboration in planning changes. Together the therapist and client set small, achievable goals and track progress. The work addresses both immediate problems, such as managing anxiety or cravings, and longer patterns that affect relationships and mood.
Dr. DeProw aims to make sessions straightforward and task-oriented. She will help identify personal strengths and use those strengths to create a workable plan. The focus is on steps that fit into everyday life and lead to noticeable differences over time.
How her approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Online sessions can be used to set clear homework, run brief behavioral experiments, and track progress between meetings. Attachment-based work looks at how past relationship patterns affect current reactions. In session this can mean mapping relationship cycles and practicing different ways of responding to partners or close others. Client-centered methods place the person’s goals at the center of the work and guide how techniques are chosen. This helps keep sessions practical and relevant to the immediate problems the person brings. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which approach or combination fits goals, preferences, and the problem at hand. Treatment plans are adjusted as progress is tracked. The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people practice skills in the settings where problems occur, which can make exercises more practical and immediately useful.Areas of expertise
