About Theresa
Theresa Shultz is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage anger, addiction, anxiety, and related concerns. She brings 16 years of experience and a long personal recovery journey to her work. Theresa aims to offer steady, practical support as people work toward clearer goals and healthier patterns.
Theresa keeps sessions warm, direct, and nonjudgmental. She listens closely, asks straightforward questions, and helps people identify small steps that move them forward.
Background and approach
Sessions are paced to fit each person's needs rather than following a fixed schedule. She draws on several evidence-informed approaches to shape therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and committed action when feelings are painful or confusing. Mindfulness practices bring calm and clearer focus for daily challenges. Theresa also uses solution-focused techniques and motivational interviewing when the goal is clear change or increased readiness.
Those methods are practical and goal-oriented, often useful for addiction concerns, anger management, or building new habits. Theresa is based in North Carolina and works in English. Her background includes long-term recovery from alcoholism, and she speaks from personal and professional experience about addiction and relapse prevention.
She aims to partner with people who want straightforward tools and steady encouragement as they rebuild routines and relationships.

How Theresa’s Approaches Translate Online
Theresa commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into online sessions. CBT helps people identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and then practice different responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed actions even when emotions are difficult to face.Theresa treats the choice of approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust work over time based on what helps. Together they decide which tools to use and how fast to move.
Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit daily life. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when audio only is preferable. Live chat and messaging suit short check-ins, focused problem-solving, or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to schedule around work, parenting, or other commitments while keeping therapy consistent and practical.
