About Theresa
Theresa Yucel is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on building a warm, collaborative relationship with each person she meets. She aims to make therapy a practical partnership where people can work on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. Theresa emphasizes clear goals and real steps that fit everyday life.
Theresa earned a Master of Arts in Counseling from Northwestern University and holds LPC credentials in Texas and Louisiana. She has worked full time in mental health since 2015. Early in her career she spent three years in an inpatient psychiatric hospital and helped people during crisis points in their lives.
After that work she moved into outpatient care, concentrating on adult and geriatric group therapy and one-on-one sessions. Her background includes work with adolescents, young adults, and older adults, and she brings that range to conversations about adjustment, loss, and coping skills.
Theresa uses straightforward methods to address common concerns such as boundaries, self-care, relationship stress, parenting strain, and financial worries. She combines Client-Centered listening with techniques from cognitive behavioral and solution-focused work to set goals and try practical changes.
Sessions aim to be a calm place to sort through what matters, test new ways of handling problems, and rebuild routines after setbacks. Theresa describes therapy as an assist in life and focuses on helping people revive their sense of purpose and move forward.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Theresa draws on client-centered therapy to create a respectful, listening-first space where clients set the pace and topics. This approach focuses on understanding the person’s goals and reflecting what matters most to them.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and tries small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and managing stress or financial worry.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Theresa treats therapy as a collaboration and will discuss which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She partners with clients to adjust strategies as progress is made.
