About Theresa
Theresa Connelly is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Pennsylvania with six years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and low self-esteem. She also supports those facing life transitions and workplace difficulties.
Theresa uses straightforward, practical methods to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns that keep problems going. She also uses client-centered and mindfulness approaches to slow down strong emotions and build clearer choices.
In sessions she focuses on concrete skills like thought records, activity planning, and short grounding practices. Conversations often include looking at day-to-day routines and experimenting with small changes. Theresa aims to help people develop coping strategies they can use between sessions.
She also addresses issues that show up around family relationships, caregiver stress, grief, and aging. Discussions may cover communication challenges, role changes, or practical steps to manage caregiving and end-of-life concerns. Theresa pays attention to how life events affect mood and functioning.
Theresa works collaboratively to set goals and track progress over time. She asks specific questions, reviews what’s working, and adjusts approaches when needed. Sessions are focused on problem-solving and on building skills that fit into everyday life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Theresa combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness-based tools in a straightforward way. CBT involves identifying thoughts and testing them with behavioral experiments or activity plans to reduce anxiety and depression. Mindfulness therapy teaches short practices to notice strong emotions and reduce reactivity, which can be useful for stress, grief, and caregiver burnout.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. She works together with each person to decide what methods fit their goals and daily life. That might mean starting with CBT skill-building, adding mindfulness exercises, or shifting focus if trauma-related work is needed.
