About Tressa
Tressa Henson is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and life transitions. She focuses on practical skills people can use right away. Her tone is steady and direct, aimed at people who want tools they can try between sessions.
She draws on 17 years of clinical work and uses approaches that emphasize changing unhelpful thoughts and building clearer habits. Sessions tend to include goal-setting, skill practice, and short-term problem solving.
Background and approach
Many clients come for help with depression, self-esteem, grief, or relationship strain. Tressa also supports people facing parenting and family challenges, career questions, and health-related stress such as chronic pain or aging concerns. She pays attention to cultural factors and life events that shape how people cope.
Her background includes work across multiple states while now serving people in Michigan. In the counseling room she blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people notice patterns and make steady changes. She uses narrative and solution-focused ideas to sharpen what matters most and find concrete next steps.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s goals. Tressa describes her style as compassionate and nonjudging. She aims to build practical momentum so people leave sessions with something usable.
People who want straightforward help with anger management, coping, or getting unstuck often find this approach useful.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to help reduce reactivity and notice feelings before they escalate; it can be useful for anger, anxiety, and stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavioral changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and build momentum when motivation feels low.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that match what you want to achieve. Together you will decide which strategies to keep using and which to adapt if something is not helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let you see facial cues and do deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, quick coaching, and ongoing reminders between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit regular work on anger, stress, and coping into real life.
