About Theresa

Theresa Farello is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, depression, and coping with life changes among other issues. Theresa works with adults and adolescents who need clear, practical ways to manage day-to-day struggles.

She uses straightforward, skills-based methods to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Theresa draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns that keep problems going. She also uses client-centered techniques to make space for what matters to each person and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when relationships and attachment come up.

Theresa previously worked as a school counselor, a director of social services, and as an adjunct professor. That mix of settings shaped a pragmatic style - she focuses on what works in real life. She often helps with ADHD, autism spectrum concerns, and issues tied to parenting, adoption, and foster care.

Typical issues she addresses include trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related concerns, eating issues, addiction, anger, self-esteem, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Theresa also has experience supporting people facing first responder stress, veteran-related concerns, obsessions and compulsions, personality disorder challenges, and recovery from sexual assault.

Sessions emphasize clear steps and observable changes. Theresa asks concrete questions, suggests manageable experiments, and reviews what helped between sessions. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment via the See online therapy options button.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Theresa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change thinking and behavior patterns that cause distress. CBT sessions often include clear goal-setting, homework-style exercises, and behavior experiments to test new ways of responding.

She also practices client-centered techniques that focus on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. When relationship or attachment issues appear, she may draw on Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to track interaction patterns and work toward different emotional responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Theresa and the client review goals, try methods that fit the problem, and adjust based on what helps. This collaborative process makes it easier to choose practical steps that suit daily life and responsibilities.

Session format details are not listed in her biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists work with clients to arrange a session style and rhythm that match goals and practical needs.
