About Theresa
Theresa Ewing is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage grief, anger, anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem. She also supports those facing life changes, caregiver strain, and relationship or family concerns. Theresa works with clients on mood challenges, parenting strains, and issues related to aging or serious illness.
Theresa draws on practical strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Sessions focus on clear goals and simple steps clients can try between meetings.
Background and approach
She aims for straightforward conversations and concrete tools rather than long theory talks. Her background includes several years in healthcare settings where she supported people dealing with end-of-life planning, hospice and caregiving demands, and medical-related family stress. That experience shaped her interest in helping people build routines that reduce overwhelm and improve daily coping.
Theresa favors collaborative planning. Early sessions typically identify priorities, test small behavioral changes, and track what helps. She encourages regular check-ins so plans can be adjusted as life shifts.
People who choose Theresa can expect a practical, compassionate approach. Work often includes breathing and grounding skills, behavior experiments, and ways to set boundaries. The focus is on steady, manageable progress toward clearer thinking and calmer responses.

How CBT and DBT translate to online sessions
Theresa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. CBT sessions often focus on breaking problems into steps and testing what works in daily life.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach coping skills for strong emotions. DBT tools include attention to emotions, distress tolerance techniques, and ways to improve interpersonal effectiveness for stressful relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Theresa will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. She treats the plan as flexible and adjusts based on what helps most over time.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is useful for in-depth skill practice and conversation, phone works well for lower bandwidth or a quick check-in, and chat or text can support short updates or between-session coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical schedules while keeping focus on skill building and steady progress.
