About Teresa
Teresa Walton-Skinner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia who helps people facing anger, anxiety, depression, and everyday stress. She writes in straightforward ways and focuses on practical steps that people can try between sessions. Teresa aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients can talk through what matters most to them.
She draws from client-centered work that centers the person's experience. That means listening closely and shaping sessions around each person's goals.
Background and approach
She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors. Solution-focused methods help set clear, short-term goals and track progress. Teresa has four years of counseling experience in service delivery and program development.
Her caseload has included people dealing with relationship strain, parenting challenges, career stress, trauma and grief, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She describes her style as warm and interactive and avoids stigmatizing labels. In sessions she and the client collaborate on a plan.
That plan may include skill practice, clearer communication strategies, or steps to manage anger and strong emotions. She adapts the pace to match what each person needs. Teresa offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Sessions follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How Theresa's Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what is said, and helps people clarify their goals and values. This approach helps when someone needs empathy and a place to sort feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood. Sessions often include noticing patterns, testing new behaviors, and practicing skills that reduce anxiety, anger, or depression. CBT is useful for specific problems and for learning tools to apply outside of sessions.
Solution-focused therapy emphasizes small, practical steps toward clear goals. Sessions work to identify strengths, pick a first manageable change, and measure progress quickly. This approach can help with short-term challenges like stress, workplace issues, or anger management.
Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose and adapt methods based on goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and deeper dialogue. Phone works well when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Chat and text are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people fit care into busy lives.
