Teresa Freeman

Teresa Freeman is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina. She has 13 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction struggles, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. Teresa aims to make beginning therapy feel manageable and affirms the courage it takes to reach out.

Her approach focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where people can share thoughts and feelings. She listens for patterns in how emotions and behaviors show up, then works with each person to try new ways of responding. Sessions emphasize practical skills and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Teresa uses several therapeutic methods depending on the person and the issue. These include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. She draws from those approaches to address problems like communication breakdowns, codependency, control issues, and relationship strains.

She also supports people coping with complex health and life stressors, such as chronic illness, cancer, caregiving strain, and blended family challenges. Teresa helps people build routines and strategies that fit their daily life and reduce overwhelm.

Evening sessions are currently offered. Before booking, clients should confirm the current session options and schedule. Teresa encourages anyone feeling stuck to take the next step toward getting support.

How Teresa’s approaches fit online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice painful thoughts and feelings without trying to fight them, then commit to actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and anger by refocusing on meaningful steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and mood concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can be useful for strong emotions and relationship struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Teresa partners with each person to decide which methods to try first and adjusts plans based on how things are going. That collaborative process helps match skills and exercises to a person’s goals and daily life.
