About Thérèse
Thérèse Fletcher is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Illinois with 13 years of experience. She focuses on relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem, career changes, stress, anxiety, addictions, and other life transitions. She also supports people dealing with trauma, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, depression, and compassion fatigue.
Fletcher’s work grew from many years serving vulnerable communities in urban settings. She uses practical, goal-focused methods to help people build clearer routines and handle stressful moments. Sessions center on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits, then trying small changes to see what helps in daily life.
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered conversations and mindfulness skills. She also draws on narrative and solution-focused strategies to help people reframe experiences and set manageable goals. This mix lets sessions shift between short-term problem solving and deeper emotional processing as needed.
Fletcher has worked in medical and social services and has supervised other social workers. She offers both brief, solution-oriented plans and longer-term work depending on the goals a person sets. Practical tasks, tracking progress, and using clear goals are recurring parts of her method.
Sessions aim to address problems that affect daily functioning - relationships, work or school, and mood. People are guided to set realistic steps and build skills they can use after therapy ends. To begin, she asks newcomers to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How cognitive and client-centered methods translate to online sessions
Thérèse commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking and try small, concrete behavior changes. CBT focuses on linking thoughts, feelings, and actions so clients can test new responses to stressful situations.She also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize the person’s goals and perspectives. This means conversations focus on what the individual wants to change and on building practical steps toward those goals. Mindfulness therapy is used to teach simple attention and grounding practices that reduce reactivity and help with stress and sleep.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust the plan together when something helps or does not. Some people start with short-term solution-focused work and later move into longer emotional processing if needed.
