About Teresa
Teresa Worthy is a Licensed Practical Counselor (LPC) with 21 years of experience. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people facing stress, anxiety, sleep problems, depression, addiction, and the strain of life changes. Teresa aims to make sessions respectful and straightforward so people can talk through what matters most.
Her approach is interactive and empathetic. She mixes methods from client-centered care, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and emotionally-focused therapy to match each person's needs. Teresa avoids stigmatizing labels and adapts techniques to the client’s story rather than following a fixed script.
Teresa has worked with people dealing with complex relationship patterns, domestic violence aftereffects, parenting challenges, grief, and trauma. She also addresses concerns such as ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, compassion fatigue, and chronic health or caregiving stress. Sleep and rest issues are part of the concerns she helps people address as they affect daily functioning and mood.
In sessions she listens first, then helps clients set achievable goals. Practical skills and small behavior changes are used alongside emotional processing. Teresa encourages steady progress and checks in frequently about what is or isn’t helping.
She practices in Mississippi and conducts sessions in English. People who live outside the U.S. may be able to work with her depending on location rules. To begin, clients use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that reflect their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbances by shifting how someone relates to internal experiences. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, such as sleep routines, worry cycles, and mood-linked habits that affect rest. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration so the person sets the pace and goals for change.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify goals, try a method, and adjust based on what helps. This shared process makes it easier to find techniques that fit the person’s day-to-day life and preferences.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and keep momentum between appointments. Check the booking details to confirm available session formats before scheduling. People often appreciate that virtual sessions reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let them practice sleep and routine changes in their usual surroundings. Licensed professionals can guide practical steps, skill practice, and troubleshooting while clients work toward better sleep and daily functioning.
