About Theresa
Theresa Bowes is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 26 years of experience. She focuses on practical ways to manage stress, anger, anxiety, and relationship problems. Theresa listens closely and helps people find steady steps to move forward.
She uses a client-centered style that starts with what feels true to each person. Theresa pairs that with evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to address unhelpful thinking and strong emotions.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to teach clear skills people can use outside of sessions. Theresa often helps people dealing with trauma, depression, self-esteem issues, or life changes such as separation and parenting strain. She also supports people facing communication breakdowns, infidelity, isolation, and intimacy-related concerns.
Anger is a frequent focus when it shows up alongside these issues. Her approach is straightforward and calm. She asks questions, reflects what she hears, and suggests techniques to test between sessions.
The work is collaborative - goals are set together and adjusted as needed. Theresa practices in Washington and conducts therapy in English. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches that translate to online care
Theresa blends client-centered listening with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to give practical tools. Client-centered work means sessions begin with the person’s lived experience and priorities, and the therapist reflects and clarifies what matters most. CBT targets thinking patterns and behaviors with exercises that reduce anxiety, low mood, and anger reactions.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when intense emotions or relationship strain are present. DBT offers short, teachable skills for tolerating distress, improving emotion regulation, and handling interpersonal friction. Together these approaches aim to produce concrete steps people can try between sessions, and Theresa will work collaboratively to choose what fits best for each person’s goals.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let people work face to face from anywhere in Washington. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for a brief check-in. Live chat and text messaging support fast check-ins, skill practice, or ongoing reminders between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility so therapy can match daily routines and real-world needs.
