About Teresa
Teresa Hess is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 10 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, and related concerns. Teresa works with people who are navigating life changes, career challenges, parenting strain, and issues connected to identity and relationships.
She uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people understand their patterns and make changes. Sessions include talking through current problems, noticing how thoughts and behaviors interact, and trying small experiments between meetings. Teresa draws on techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, achievable goals.
Her work also pays attention to attachment and life story. Attachment-Based Therapy helps look at how early relationships influence current reactions. Narrative Therapy techniques are used to separate someone from unhelpful stories and create new perspectives. Mindfulness practices are sometimes introduced to reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment coping.
Teresa aims to be straightforward and practical in sessions. She helps people build skills for stress reduction and stronger self-regard. When trauma or grief are present, she moves at a pace set by the client and focuses on stabilization and coping before deeper processing.
Clients will be asked to identify goals and may receive short exercises to practice between sessions. The first meetings typically clarify priorities and create a plan for the next steps. This profile reflects Teresa’s stated approaches and areas of focus.

How Teresa’s approaches work for online sessions
Teresa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and testing small changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape reactions today and helps people practice different ways of relating.She also draws on Mindfulness practices to help with moment-to-moment regulation and Narrative Therapy to reframe difficult personal stories. Each method is presented in plain terms and used as a tool for specific goals rather than as a fixed protocol.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Teresa will review your situation, goals, and preferences and help decide which methods to try first. That plan can change as you learn what helps and what does not, with regular check-ins about progress and next steps.
