About Thérèse
Thérèse Fletcher is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 13 years of experience helping people navigate hard life moments. She focuses on practical, goal-oriented work and likes to meet clients where they are. Her areas include relationship difficulties, grief, stress and anxiety, and money and financial issues among other concerns.
She has spent much of her career supporting vulnerable communities in urban settings and has experience in medical and social services. That background informs a straightforward style that combines emotional processing with clear steps to move forward. She also has supervised and trained other social workers.
In sessions she emphasizes respect and a strength-based perspective. That means she looks for existing strengths to build on and helps people set achievable goals. She offers both short-term solution-focused work and longer-term processing, depending on what a person needs.
Thérèse uses approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness to help with mood, coping, and behavior change. She helps people work through issues affecting daily life, like sleep problems, parenting strain, or workplace stress.
She describes therapy as a collaborative effort and often provides accountability as clients work toward growth. Sessions address practical changes as well as the feelings behind them, so people leave with tools they can use between meetings.
Thérèse works in Illinois and offers services in English. She is open to working with international clients. If someone is deciding whether to begin, she encourages taking the next step toward finding help.
Approaches That Guide Online Work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience without judgment. It helps people clarify their goals and feel respected while they decide what changes to make.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change unhelpful patterns.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness skills to manage stress and reactivity. It can help with sleep problems, anger, and steadying emotions during life transitions.
Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with a person about goals and preferences and suggest an approach or mix of approaches. They tailor methods as needs evolve rather than sticking to a single method.
Confirm which online session formats are offered before booking, since the biography did not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use therapy from different locations and coordinate appointments around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.
