Teresa Rodriguez, LPC

Teresa Rodriguez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and anger. Teresa speaks English and Spanish and aims to make the first steps toward change feel easier and more doable.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through their thoughts and feelings. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's comfort. Teresa emphasizes practical steps people can use between meetings to feel steadier day to day.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. She uses those methods to help people spot unhelpful thinking, set realistic goals, and build motivation to try different ways of coping. The work is concrete and focused on small, manageable changes.

Teresa also addresses family stress, relationship problems, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strains, career concerns, and life transitions. Additional areas she supports include forgiveness, infidelity, jealousy, multicultural issues, veteran and armed forces concerns, paranoia, post-traumatic stress, self-love, women's issues, and young adult concerns.

People who want a supportive listener and a practical plan may find her approach a good fit. She helps clients break big problems into small steps and track progress over time.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Teresa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT focuses on practical exercises and short-term goals, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on listening closely and responding with empathy. That approach helps people feel heard and understood while they decide what changes matter most to them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Teresa will talk with clients about their needs, goals, and preferences and help choose or combine methods that fit. The process is collaborative, and plans are adjusted as goals evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions are useful when video is difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing problem-solving, and reminders between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
