About Theresa
Theresa Yucel is a Licensed Professional Counselor who blends practical talk with a warm, steady presence. She draws on ten years of full-time practice to help people manage anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. Theresa keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters most to each person.
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 providing crisis management support for people at acute points in their mental health. That experience shaped her ability to stay calm under pressure and to help people find immediate steps for safety and stability.
After the hospital setting she moved into outpatient care, leading adult and geriatric group therapy and offering individual support. She has worked with adolescents, young adults, and older adults, and often helps people with adjustment issues, boundary setting, and rebuilding after loss.
Theresa uses several clinical approaches to guide sessions, including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. In practice she focuses on building trust, listening closely, and helping clients try changes that fit their daily lives.
Her goal is a nonjudgmental partnership where clients learn tools to manage panic, stress, relationship strain, and other concerns. She encourages a practical, step-by-step path so people can regain balance and move forward.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Theresa draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide work with anxiety, panic, grief, and life changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and building a trusting relationship so people can talk openly about what they are facing. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical strategies to reduce symptoms and try new ways of coping. Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to figure out which methods fit best. That means trying ideas together, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan based on the person's needs, goals, and preferences. If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Many people find virtual work helpful because it can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins that fit around daily life. Some formats also make shorter focused check-ins possible when a quick adjustment or skill practice is needed. Licensed professionals can adapt client-centered listening and CBT skills to an online setting so the work stays practical and goal-oriented.Areas of expertise
