About Theresa
Theresa Farello is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio who focuses on helping people manage strong emotions and stressful life changes. She works with adults facing anxiety, depression, anger, grief, ADHD, addiction concerns, and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem. Theresa aims to make first steps feel manageable and approachable for someone who is worried or unsure where to begin.
She uses straightforward conversation and active listening to understand what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
Theresa draws on client-centered methods that keep the person's goals at the center of sessions. She also uses practical Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) ideas guide work on close relationships and emotional connection.
Theresa has five years of professional experience in clinical roles. Before counseling, she worked as a school counselor, a director of social services, and taught as an adjunct professor. Those roles shaped her approach to collaborating with people across different life stages and needs.
Her practice includes support for parenting stresses, first responder issues, adoption and foster care concerns, neurodiversity like autism, trauma and abuse recovery, and challenges related to veteran or armed forces experience. She also addresses eating concerns, obsessive-compulsive patterns, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and available through online formats that can fit a busy schedule.
Theresa invites people to take a single step toward help by using the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire.

How Theresa's Approaches Work Online
Theresa uses client-centered work that focuses on the person's priorities and pace. In practice this means sessions start by asking what matters most and then shaping the work around those goals. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive place to talk and make decisions.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT provides concrete strategies to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, anger, and low mood over time. Emotionally-Focused Therapy complements these tools by helping people understand and shift patterns in close relationships and emotional reactions.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Theresa will listen to your needs, try methods that match your goals, and adjust the plan as you go. Together you decide whether to emphasize CBT skills, emotionally-focused work, or client-centered pacing based on progress and preference.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions work well for face-to-face conversation, phone calls can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers brief check-ins, and messaging lets people send updates between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines.
