Teresa Worthy, LPC

Teresa Worthy is a Licensed Practical Counselor (LPC) with 21 years of experience. She offers a calm, respectful approach and focuses on practical ways to reduce stress and manage everyday struggles.

Her style is warm and interactive. Sessions aim to be direct and down-to-earth, with an emphasis on listening and working together to find what helps. Teresa avoids stigmatizing labels and centers each conversation on the person's experience.

Teresa draws on several therapy methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas. She blends these approaches to match each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

She has worked with people facing depression, anxiety, addiction, ADHD, trauma, and relationship challenges. Teresa also supports those dealing with caregiver stress, chronic illness, grief, and aging and geriatric issues. Her background includes helping people affected by domestic violence and complicated life transitions.

Teresa practices in Mississippi and offers sessions in English. She welcomes international clients as well. Her approach is practical: talk through the issue, try a few tools, and adjust based on what works for that person.

How Teresa’s approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters most to them and take small, meaningful steps toward those values while learning to sit with difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful cycles and improve mood and daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, listening approach that centers the person's experience and builds on their strengths.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Teresa will work with the person to identify goals, try strategies, and adjust the plan over time so the work fits their needs and preferences. She aims to combine practical tools with supportive, interactive conversation.

Session format details were not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - shorter check-ins, fewer travel logistics, and the ability to schedule sessions around work or caregiving duties. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively to address anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, ADHD, caregiver stress, and aging-related issues while adapting exercises and communication for remote sessions.
