About Theresa
Theresa Yu is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Professional Counselor with nine years of experience. She focuses on practical therapy that fits each person’s needs and offers clear tools to manage strong emotions like anger. Theresa speaks English and Mandarin and works with people in Oklahoma and beyond.
Theresa shapes sessions around what helps most. She blends approaches such as cognitive behavioral work, acceptance and commitment ideas, and attachment-informed techniques to help people notice patterns and try new responses.
Background and approach
Sessions often include concrete skills, short exercises, and discussion about next steps someone can use between meetings. Her background includes online, home-based, and office counseling. She has experience with trauma, developmental differences, and behavioral challenges, and has worked in schools, child welfare, and behavioral health roles.
That variety informs a practical, problem-solving emphasis in sessions. Theresa also supports parents and caregivers navigating stress from raising children, blended family situations, adoption and foster care concerns, and caregiver burnout. She helps people talk through relationship strain, grief, changes at work, and addictive patterns so they can make clearer choices.
In therapy she aims to be direct, encouraging, and at times gently challenging. The goal is to help people gain insight and build skills they can use right away. She invites prospective clients to try a few sessions to see if the fit feels right.

Therapeutic approaches that work well online
Theresa often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes. CBT breaks down problems into clear steps and gives practical exercises to reduce anxiety, anger, and low mood.She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy, which helps people notice difficult feelings without getting stuck and choose actions that match their values. That approach can be useful for stress, grief, and long-term patterns people want to change.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Theresa will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Then she tailors methods so sessions focus on workable tools and meaningful change together.
Online sessions can fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skills practice, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging suit quick updates or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent during workdays, travel, or family schedules, while still focusing on clear techniques for anger, relationships, trauma, and everyday stress.
