About Theresa
Theresa Yucel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Texas and Louisiana with 10 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, as well as trauma and LGBT issues. She works with adults across stages of life and draws on straightforward, skills-based methods to address everyday problems.
Theresa trained at Northwestern University where she earned a Master of Arts in Counseling. Early in her career she worked three years in an inpatient psychiatric setting handling crisis management. Since then she has worked mainly in outpatient care and led adult to geriatric group therapy programs.
Her practice emphasizes practical tools for managing mood and stress. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep problems going. She also uses client-centered and psychodynamic ideas to understand relational patterns and life history that affect current struggles.
Theresa often helps people rebuilding routines after loss, tightening boundaries, and improving self-care. She also supports work on panic, social anxiety, anger, and life transitions. Sessions tend to focus on what is happening now and what concrete steps can reduce distress.
Her background includes work with adolescents, young adults, and older adults, and substantial clinical time with people in crisis and those adjusting after major life changes. People who want clear, structured work on mood, relationships, or coping skills will find her approach direct and practical.
How CBT and other approaches are used in online sessions
Theresa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and test unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT focuses on small, concrete experiments and practical skills that aim to reduce anxiety, panic, or depressive symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy is also part of her approach and emphasizes listening and responding to the person’s experience so goals feel personally meaningful.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Theresa will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. That means discussing what feels useful, adjusting techniques over time, and combining approaches when helpful.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, avoiding travel time, or choosing not to use video when that helps concentrative work. These practical benefits can help people keep therapy consistent while they work on coping skills, boundary setting, grief processing, or relationship challenges.
