About Theresa
Theresa Farello is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio who helps people navigating stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and life transitions. She talks plainly and meets clients where they are, offering steady support during overwhelming moments. Her approach centers on listening, understanding, and helping people find practical next steps.
Theresa draws on client-centered principles to create an open and warm space for sharing difficult thoughts and feelings. She also uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and from emotionally-focused therapy to address relationship and attachment concerns. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and small, manageable changes rather than jargon.
Before becoming an LPCC, Theresa worked as a school counselor, a director of social services, and as a part-time adjunct professor. Those roles shaped her practical outlook and experience supporting people across different life stages. She has about five years of professional counseling experience overall.
Theresa has worked with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, eating issues, parenting struggles, first responder and veteran issues, and challenges related to adoption or foster care. She strives to tailor tools and conversation to each person’s situation and pace.

How Theresa’s approaches fit into online work
Theresa uses client-centered therapy to prioritize listening and understanding, helping people feel heard and guiding conversations at their pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) provides hands-on tools to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and routines, which can help with anxiety, depression, and focus. Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) pays attention to attachment and feelings in relationships, useful when intimacy and connection are central concerns.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Theresa will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they’ll decide which methods to use. That makes it easier to adapt sessions if something isn’t working or needs to change over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example arranging shorter check-ins around a work break, avoiding travel time, or choosing an interaction style that feels less intense than in-person. Licensed professionals can often tailor pacing, homework, and techniques so therapy fits everyday demands while staying focused on clear goals.
