Theresa Farello, LPCC

Theresa Farello is a licensed professional clinical counselor who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and life changes. She writes and speaks plainly in sessions so parents and busy adults can follow practical steps. Theresa aims to make the first step feel doable and not overwhelming.

She uses clear, hands-on methods to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try simpler, more manageable ways of reacting. Sessions are conversational and direct, with an emphasis on small skills people can use between meetings. Theresa listens for patterns that create repeated stress and helps clients set reachable goals to change them.

Theresa has worked in school counseling, social services leadership, and as a part-time adjunct professor. Those roles shaped how she explains difficult topics and organizes treatment in simple terms. She brings five years of professional counseling experience to her practice and focuses on practical problem solving rather than jargon.

Her approach is informed by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, and elements of emotionally-focused work to address connection and feelings. Theresa supports people through trauma, grief, addiction concerns, and adjustments such as divorce or parenting challenges. She also works with ADHD, autism spectrum issues, OCD concerns, and first responder or veteran-related stress.

Theresa offers sessions in English from Ohio. She aims to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can try new ways of coping, rebuild confidence, and move toward steady progress.

How Theresa Uses Therapy Approaches Online

Theresa draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods to guide online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical behavior changes to reduce stress and anxiety. Client-centered work emphasizes listening, empathy, and making space for each person's goals and values.

She may also use emotionally-focused ideas when feelings and connection are central to the problem. That approach helps name emotions and improve how people express needs in relationships and personal healing. Between these approaches, Theresa works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences.

Online sessions come in several formats: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for more in-depth work and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing steps between sessions. These options aim to increase flexibility so people can fit therapy into school, work, or caregiving schedules.
