About Theresa
Theresa Cloyd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arizona with six years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and the fallout of trauma and abuse. She also focuses on self-esteem and coping with life changes. Her work includes attention to mood disorders, personality disorders, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety and phobia.
Theresa uses practical, skills-based methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking traps and test new responses. She also uses client-centered techniques to keep conversations focused on the person’s goals and values.
When emotions run high, Theresa brings in Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools to help with regulation and managing intense feelings. Mindfulness exercises are introduced as brief practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone feels stuck and wants to find reasons to change.
Sessions look at specific situations that cause distress and then try small, do-able experiments. Homework is practical and short so it fits into a busy life. Theresa aims for clear, concrete steps rather than long explanations.
Theresa asks people to set simple goals during early sessions. From there she tracks progress and adjusts techniques based on what helps. She invites straightforward feedback and keeps the work focused on skills that can be used between appointments.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Theresa commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. CBT work online focuses on noticing thinking patterns, testing small changes, and using short between-session exercises to practice new responses. Client-Centered Therapy appears as a steady focus on the client’s goals and preferences, keeping conversations directed by what the person finds important rather than a fixed agenda.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotions become intense, teaching concrete regulation and distress-tolerance techniques. DBT tools can be learned in brief steps and practiced between meetings to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day coping. Finding the best mix of methods is part of the work together; she will discuss options and decide collaboratively based on the client’s needs and goals.
