About Thérèse
Thérèse Fletcher is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 13 years of experience helping people face stress, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. She centers each session on the person in front of her and works with clients to set practical goals. Her approach aims to build confidence and provide tools that carry forward beyond therapy.
Fletcher has spent much of her career supporting people in urban medical and social services settings. She has experience with emotional concerns like depression and anger, and she helps people manage the effects these issues have on relationships, work, and day-to-day living. Sleeping and rest difficulties are among the concerns she addresses alongside trauma, addiction, and caregiving stress.
She describes therapy as a collaborative process. Sessions focus on identifying strengths, clarifying goals, and practicing steps that fit each person’s life. Fletcher offers both shorter-term, solution-focused work and longer-term emotional processing depending on what a client needs.
Her background includes supervising and training other social workers, and she brings that practical experience into clinical work. She aims to be nonjudgmental and to provide steady guidance and accountability as clients try new ways of coping. The goal is measurable change that improves daily functioning and sense of purpose.
People who choose Fletcher can expect direct conversation, practical strategies, and attention to the stresses that make rest and daily routines harder. She works in English and accepts international clients, and she helps clients explore concrete steps toward better sleep, mood, and life balance.
How her approaches shape online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s experience and priorities, with the therapist following the client’s lead to build trust and clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it can be useful for anxiety, mood problems, and sleep habits.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands, then recommend whether shorter solution-focused work or deeper emotion-focused work makes sense. This is a collaborative decision and can shift as needs change.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as taking a session during a break or avoiding travel time. It also allows continuing work with the same licensed professional across geographic boundaries; confirm specific session formats before booking to know what is available. The therapist uses practical exercises, mood and sleep strategies, and goal planning that translate well to remote visits and help clients practice changes between appointments.
