About Teresa
Teresa Buss is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin who supports people managing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, sleep difficulties, ADHD, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She presents a warm, nonjudgmental approach and emphasizes building trust before moving into change work. Teresa aims to help people make sense of why certain behaviors or thoughts keep showing up and to find practical steps forward.
Her approach centers on relationship and compassion. She uses attachment-based ideas and client-centered listening to learn each person’s perspective first. Teresa also incorporates mindfulness and breath-based practices to help with emotional regulation and calmer sleep patterns.
Teresa describes a bottom-up style that brings the body into therapy through breath work and image making to support new habits. She partners with people to set goals and create a straightforward plan tailored to those goals. She honors diagnoses but focuses on the whole person rather than a label.
With five years of clinical experience, Teresa has worked with a range of concerns including PTSD, addictions, OCD, parenting challenges, and grief. She identifies as non-binary and is an LGBTQIA+ ally, and she aims to understand each person’s background and culture before recommending steps.
People who choose her can expect collaborative sessions that mix talk, breathing practices, and creative exercises to build emotional regulation and better sleep. She encourages small, practical steps that fit into daily life and supports gradual progress toward post-traumatic growth.
How her approaches translate to online care
Teresa combines attachment-based and client-centered ideas with mindfulness practices to help people regulate emotions and improve sleep. Attachment-based work focuses on relationship patterns and how early connections affect current reactions; this can help when stress or trauma makes rest difficult. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and meeting the person where they are, so goals are set together and sessions follow the person's pace.Mindfulness work uses breath exercises and simple body-focused practices to lower arousal and support calmer nights. These tools are practical for coping with anxiety, trauma responses, and sleeplessness because they teach ways to shift state in the moment.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Teresa collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. She emphasizes small steps and measurable goals so people can see what helps.
