Teresa Walton-Skinner, LPC

Teresa Walton-Skinner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people facing everyday and complex life challenges. She works with issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, anger, relationship and parenting concerns, and ADHD. Teresa is also attentive to aging and geriatric issues and caregiver stress.

Her style is described as warm and interactive. She focuses on respectful, sensitive, and nonjudgmental conversation. Sessions are tailored to each person's needs and goals rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Teresa uses a mix of practical approaches. She draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She pairs that with client-centered work that keeps the person and their experience at the center of the session.

She aims to build a collaborative plan that feels doable. That might include short-term problem solving, changes in daily routines, communication skills, or coping tools for stress and grief. Teresa emphasizes small, practical steps that add up over time.

With four years of experience, Teresa has been involved in direct service and program work across diverse settings. She invites people who are ready to make a change to start a conversation and explore what direction feels right for them.

How Teresa’s approaches fit into online therapy

Teresa uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy in straightforward ways that translate well to remote work. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience and aims to create an accepting space where people can talk through their concerns and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety or depression. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes short-term, goal-oriented steps and quick strategies to tackle specific problems like stress, anger, or communication issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Teresa will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing for more flexible scheduling. Because session formats are not specified here, confirm current session options before booking to know how sessions are delivered. Many people find remote sessions helpful for steady check-ins, practicing new skills between meetings, and keeping momentum when managing caregiving or aging-related responsibilities.
