About Therese
Therese Muir is a licensed clinical social worker with over 30 years of experience. She uses a person-centered approach that starts by listening and building on each person's strengths. Her style is direct but warm, aimed at helping people feel steadier in everyday life.
Therese helps people who face anxiety, stress, panic attacks, and mood struggles like depression and bipolar. She also supports those coping with trauma, grief, anger, and substance concerns. Her work focuses on practical steps people can take between sessions to feel safer and more capable.
Her methods draw from cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness practices to help change unhelpful thoughts and calm the body. She also uses dialectical behavior ideas to teach emotion regulation and coping skills. Sessions often center on small, achievable goals and skills that can be practiced at home.
Therese trained at Michigan State University and holds the LMSW credential - Licensed Master of Social Work. She works in Michigan and conducts sessions in English. She does not take international clients at this time.
To begin, people typically complete an online matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Therese emphasizes collaboration and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Therese draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness practices to guide her online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxious reactions and support coping with panic symptoms. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that help people notice sensations and calm their nervous system.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different techniques to see what fits best. You and the therapist decide together which skills and strategies to practice between sessions, and adjustments are made as progress is tracked.
Confirm available session formats before booking because the profile does not list specific options. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from quieter surroundings. Talk with the therapist about scheduling, pacing, and homework so sessions work with your daily routine.
