About Theresa
Theresa Yu is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who blends practical skills with person-centered support. She draws on nearly a decade of clinical experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and financial or career-related worries. Theresa speaks English and Mandarin and works from Oklahoma.
She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what matters most. Sessions focus on identifying small, useful changes and building tools that fit daily life. Theresa aims to guide, encourage, and sometimes challenge clients so they can move past obstacles.
Theresa adapts her approach to the person in front of her rather than using one fixed method. She commonly uses cognitive behavioral ideas to shift unhelpful thinking and acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values and take action. She also uses attachment-focused work to look at how past relationships shape current patterns.
Her background includes work in schools, child protective services, foster and adoptive services, and behavioral health case management. That experience informs her work with trauma, attachment concerns, autism spectrum differences, parenting difficulties, and caregiver stress. She has helped people facing grief, addiction concerns, intimacy issues, and major life transitions.
Theresa is a mother and guardian with long personal experience parenting and hosting exchange students, and she spends free time with multiple pets including therapy dogs. If you want a down-to-earth clinician who mixes practical tools with empathetic listening, you can begin by completing the Start Therapy steps to match and schedule sessions.
How Theresa's approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward the life they want, even when unwanted thoughts or feelings show up. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns and helps people build healthier ways of relating and feeling safe with others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to problems like depression, anxiety, and sleep or eating issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Theresa takes a collaborative stance and will help you figure out which methods fit your goals and preferences. Together you can try strategies, check what helps, and adjust the plan as needs change.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm available session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow more consistent check-ins during times of change. Video or phone options can support shorter check-ins, greater scheduling flexibility, or easier access when travel is difficult, and Theresa will discuss what will work best for your situation.
