About Theresa
LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) with 18 years of clinical experience, Theresa Revans-McMenimon focuses on relationship and family concerns, stress and anxiety, parenting, and related life changes. She uses client-centered methods alongside motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, and solution-focused work to help people clarify needs and improve communication.
Theresa asks clients to begin with honest self-reflection. She helps people sort out wants versus needs so they can speak clearly with partners and family members. Sessions emphasize listening, respectful feedback, and practical steps to change how people relate to each other.
Her background includes work as a family specialist through LEND - Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities - at Westchester Institute for Human Development and New York Medical College. That experience informs work with developmental and transition issues and supports clients facing special-needs challenges.
Theresa has spent nearly two decades counseling on communication problems, parenting skills, and anxiety as it plays out inside families. She developed a program called Transition Boot Camp to help people prepare for college and career moves, which received local media attention.
She also uses brief, goal-focused approaches to help clients make measurable changes, for example with career concerns, money issues, and midlife transitions. Theresa may decline referrals if she judges another clinician would better meet a person’s needs.
People who choose her can expect practical, conversation-based sessions that focus on clearer communication and doable next steps.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says. It helps people feel understood and clarifies personal goals, which can ease communication with partners and family members.Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused method that helps people find their own reasons to change. It works well for addictions, behavior change, and commitment to new routines.
Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships. Reframing those stories can reduce shame and open up new options for action.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the situation, and adjust the plan based on what helps the client most. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed formula.
Confirm current session formats before booking since none are listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins from different locations. Some formats are better for shorter check-ins while others support more in-depth conversation, so confirm which formats are offered and pick one that matches your schedule and needs.
