Tressa Henson, LPC

Tressa Henson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and life transitions. She also supports clients facing relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma, parenting challenges, career questions, and issues that come with aging and geriatric concerns. Her approach blends counseling and coaching to help clients move toward practical goals.

With 17 years of experience, Tressa uses clear, goal-focused methods in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, narrative work, and solution-focused strategies to help people spot patterns and try new ways of coping. Sessions are straightforward and aimed at real-life change rather than long theory talks.

Clients can expect a respectful, nonjudging space where the therapist listens and asks concrete questions. Conversations often include simple exercises, small experiments to try between sessions, and reflection on what’s working. Tressa emphasizes collaboration and helps people build skills they can use day to day.

She brings a holistic presence to the work, combining clinical methods with coaching-style support. That mix is intended to encourage growth, practical problem solving, and improved wellbeing. Tressa describes her stance as compassionate and engaged, offering steady support while people work toward their goals.

How her approaches translate to online work

Tressa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy as core tools. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety or change mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can help with stress, chronic pain, and depression.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who feel stuck or unsure about change. That approach focuses on the client’s own reasons for change and draws out personal motivation rather than pushing advice. Together, these methods help shape clear goals and small steps that feel doable.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has worked in the past, then adapt techniques accordingly. That means methods may shift over time as needs and progress change.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about what will fit your schedule and daily life so sessions are practical and sustainable.
