About Therese
Therese Kaufman is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) based in Michigan with 11 years of clinical experience. She welcomes people who are ready to talk about the hard things and want practical ways to feel steadier in daily life. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at helping people notice what they can change now and where to start.
Therese has worked in outpatient clinics and with Medicare-funded clients, and she also sees people in private practice. She meets individuals across a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship stress, and the strain of caregiving and end-of-life situations. Sleeping difficulties and parenting stress are among the issues she addresses.
Her approach blends practical habits with reflective work. She uses mindfulness and mind-body activities such as yoga and walking to help people reconnect with their bodies and reduce agitation. She emphasizes healthy sleep habits as part of overall coping and wellbeing.
Sessions focus on creating a straightforward toolbox of strategies. That can include small behavior changes, routines for better rest, and steps to rebuild self-esteem. Conversations aim to clarify what causes distress and identify actions that are within a person’s control.
Therese describes her therapy space as respectful and nonjudgmental. She invites people who want hands-on techniques alongside emotional support. To begin, clients use the site's Start Therapy flow to match and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.
Therapeutic techniques and how they work online
Therese describes using mindfulness practices and mind-body activities to help people feel calmer and more present. Mindfulness typically involves short exercises to notice thoughts and sensations, which can reduce anxiety and improve sleep by breaking the cycle of rumination.She also emphasizes healthy sleep hygiene and routine-building. Sleep hygiene means practical habits such as consistent bedtimes, calming pre-sleep activities, and attention to movement and eating patterns that affect rest. These steps can make nights more manageable and support daytime coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their needs and goals. That might mean mixing short behavioral changes with reflective talk and body-centered practices over several sessions.
The site’s information does not list specific session formats for this clinician. Please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. Some people find audio-only check-ins useful when energy or bandwidth is limited, while others prefer longer sessions for practice and reflection.
