About Tess

Tess Gibbs is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia with five years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer ways to manage difficult feelings.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations focused on each person's experience and priorities. That combination lets sessions stay structured while keeping the client’s goals central.

In a typical meeting she helps people notice patterns that keep problems going. Then she and the client try small, concrete changes to break those patterns. Work may include short exercises between sessions to practice new skills in everyday life.

Tess pays attention to communication problems, guilt and shame, forgiveness, isolation and questions about life purpose. She also addresses workplace stress, issues common to young adults, and concerns many women face. The focus is on clear, manageable steps rather than abstract explanations.

People who prefer straightforward, goal-focused talks often find this style useful. Tess aims to make planning and progress easy to follow. Before booking, confirm which session formats are currently offered to ensure they fit your needs.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's concerns. It emphasizes the person's perspective and uses conversation to clarify goals and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses short experiments to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, stress, low mood, and relationship planning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tess will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to use based on their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to address. The plan can shift as progress is made or priorities change.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people use virtual sessions to practice skills between meetings and to apply strategies directly in daily routines. Ask about session length and format when scheduling to make sure it fits your schedule.
