Teresa Buss

Teresa Buss is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, anger, and related concerns. She meets people where they are with a warm, nonjudgmental approach and focuses on practical steps that feel doable. Teresa emphasizes building trust and a supportive relationship at the start of work together.

She uses a mix of approaches that center the person’s experience. That includes paying attention to body-based tools such as breath work and image making, and using conversation to make sense of past events and present patterns. Teresa aims to help people notice how habits form and try new ways of responding.

Her work emphasizes emotional regulation and creating new personal narratives after difficult experiences. She talks through what’s happening in the moment and collaborates with each person to design goals and a treatment plan that fit their needs. Teresa frames progress as small, steady steps rather than quick fixes.

Teresa’s background includes five years of clinical experience and work across a range of concerns, such as depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and parenting challenges, and compassion fatigue. She identifies as an LGBTQIA+ ally and centers cultural understanding in her practice.

People looking for help with anger, trauma, or life changes will find a therapist who focuses on relationship, compassion, and practical skill building. Teresa encourages people to move at a pace that feels right and to try concrete strategies that support lasting change.

Therapeutic approaches and online work

Teresa uses attachment-based and client-centered approaches alongside mindfulness practices to help people manage strong emotions and make sense of past harms. Attachment-based work focuses on relationships and how early connections shape current responses, which can help with anger and trust issues. Client-centered therapy centers the person’s own perspective and choices, so sessions are guided by what matters most to the individual. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills that reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Teresa collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She will try different tools and adjust the plan as progress or new concerns appear, keeping the client involved in every step.

The original biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, for example by reducing travel time, making short check-ins possible during a break, or allowing sessions without being on camera if that helps someone stay focused. Licensed professionals can adapt breathing exercises, narrative work, and relationship-focused conversations to remote sessions so people can practice skills between meetings.
