About Theresa
Theresa Yucel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of experience. She focuses on building a trusting, nonjudgmental relationship where people can talk about hard moments and find steady ways forward. Theresa aims to make therapy feel like a partnership, not a lecture, and she emphasizes practical steps that fit day-to-day life.
Theresa earned a Master of Arts in Counseling from Northwestern University and holds LPC credentials in Texas and Louisiana. Early in her career she worked three years in an inpatient psychiatric hospital helping people through crisis situations. Since then she has worked in outpatient settings and led adult and geriatric group therapy.
Her work commonly addresses depression, anxiety, grief and loss, stress, and problems with self-care and boundaries. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, relationship struggles, parenting stress, and life transitions. Theresa helps clients name what matters to them and try small, manageable changes.
Theresa uses Client-Centered Therapy alongside other approaches to guide sessions by each person’s needs. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic ideas, and Solution-Focused methods to help people notice patterns and set concrete goals. Sessions tend to focus on clear steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Theresa works in Texas and offers services in English. People who want to begin can follow the site’s process to match and schedule a first appointment. She encourages a collaborative, respectful pace so clients feel heard and supported.
How Client-Centered and CBT Approaches Work Online
Theresa blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in a way that keeps conversations focused on what matters to the client. Client-Centered Therapy means sessions follow the client’s pace and priorities, with the therapist listening closely and reflecting what’s said. This approach helps people feel understood and supported while they decide what to work on next.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers concrete tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It can help with anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and stress by teaching simple exercises and small behavioral changes to try between sessions. These techniques pair well with a client-centered relationship that decides which tools fit best.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Theresa will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She often combines listening and reflection with practical steps and goal-setting so clients can notice progress over time.
