Theresa Yucel

Theresa Yucel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical, down-to-earth help for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and anger. She keeps conversations straightforward and works to build a trusting relationship where people feel heard. Theresa emphasizes partnership in therapy and helps clients set healthier boundaries and care for themselves.

Theresa earned a Master of Arts in Counseling from Northwestern University and holds LPC credentials in Texas and Louisiana. She has worked full time in mental health since 2015. Early in her career she spent three years in an inpatient psychiatric hospital, helping people through crisis points in their recovery.

After that work, she shifted to outpatient practice with an emphasis on adult and geriatric group therapy. Theresa has experience with adolescents, young adults, and older adults. Her background includes supporting people through adjustment difficulties, grief and loss, and episodes of depression and anxiety.

In sessions she uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused work alongside client-centered and psychodynamic ideas. That means she listens for what matters most to each person, then helps them try small changes that can make daily life easier. She supports work on self-care, boundary setting, anger management, and coping with big life changes.

Theresa aims to create a nonjudgmental space where clients can revive and move forward. She encourages realistic goals and practical steps so people can see progress between sessions.

How Theresa’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting therapeutic relationship. It helps when someone needs acceptance, support, and space to talk through difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and improve mood. Psychodynamic ideas help uncover patterns from earlier relationships that influence current behavior and emotions; this can be useful for repeated relationship or boundary problems.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Theresa will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She adapts tools and homework to what the client wants to focus on and checks in about what is helping.

Confirm the supported session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people try therapy from a familiar setting and use written or verbal exercises between appointments. Discuss format and scheduling when you start so sessions fit your routine and needs.
