About Thérèse
Thérèse Fletcher is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 13 years of experience who centers her work on practical, client-focused care. She uses straightforward, collaborative methods to help people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and grief. She meets clients where they are and builds goals together.
Her background includes many years working in urban medical and social service settings. She has experience supervising and training other social workers and supporting people facing chronic illness, major life changes, and caregiving strain.
Background and approach
That hands-on work shapes how she approaches everyday problems as well as complex ones. In sessions she draws on client-centered therapy to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, and solution-focused methods to build concrete next steps.
Mindfulness and narrative techniques help people notice patterns and reframe their stories when useful. Thérèse offers both short-term, goal-oriented plans and longer-term emotional processing depending on what someone needs. She emphasizes strengths, accountability, and skills that carry into daily life.
Her aim is to help clients leave sessions with tools they can use between appointments. People turn to her for concerns such as relationship strain, parenting stress, depression, addiction issues, career and financial worries, grief, and problems with sleep. She accepts international clients and provides sessions from Illinois.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Thérèse uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and building goals that feel right for each person; it helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through problems. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete strategies to change them, which is useful for anxiety, anger, and depression.She approaches finding the right method as a team effort. In early sessions she will talk with clients about what they want to achieve and try tools that match those goals. Together they adjust the plan over time based on what helps most and what fits the client's daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video calls are helpful for face-to-face conversation and demonstrations of exercises. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when speaking without video is easier. Live chat and messaging support quick check-ins, journaling-style work, and brief coaching between longer sessions. These options let people fit consistent work into busy or changing schedules.
