About Theresa
LMSW (Michigan) with 24 years of clinical experience, Theresa Williams focuses on mood and life challenges such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and self-esteem. She also addresses compassion fatigue, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, parenting struggles, career issues, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and questions about life purpose. Theresa uses practical, problem-focused methods she lists in her practice to help people address the issue at hand.
Theresa frames therapy as a collaborative process. She describes clients as the experts on their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions typically focus on clear goals and steps that feel doable. She includes faith-based perspectives when a client wants that element integrated.
Her approach draws from several structured methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking, dialectical behavior strategies for emotion and distress regulation, and motivational interviewing for goal-focused change. She also uses solution-focused work to set short-term targets and trauma-focused techniques when past harm affects present life.
Theresa emphasizes practical tools and small changes that fit into everyday life. Conversations often cover coping skills, boundary setting, and problem-solving for parenting and relationship strains. She will work with clients on career transitions, managing bipolar mood patterns, and restoring a sense of self-worth.
Theresa accepts clients from outside the United States and conducts sessions in English. Costs vary by location and she offers a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches shape online sessions
Theresa commonly draws from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and focuses on practical skill-building to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful thinking patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills useful for strong emotions and conflict.She also uses motivational interviewing to help people clarify goals and increase readiness for change. That approach is conversational and goal-focused, helping someone find their own reasons to try new behaviors. Theresa treats choosing a method as collaborative; she will talk with a client about goals and preferences and then try approaches that fit those priorities.
Practical benefits of meeting with her online are about fitting sessions into everyday life. Confirm which session formats she currently offers before booking, since the biography did not specify formats. Online work can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy can fit around work, parenting, or quiet windows in the day. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT tools to remote sessions so clients can practice skills between appointments.
