About Teresa
Teresa Vossen is a licensed clinical social worker with thirty years of practice. She is licensed in Virginia and New York and focuses on practical help for everyday struggles. Teresa aims to meet people where they are and make the first step into therapy feel manageable.
She works with people dealing with stress and anxiety, grief and loss, and parenting challenges. She also helps with motivation, self-esteem, and finding confidence during life changes.
Background and approach
Conversations are tailored to each person’s situation rather than following a one-size-fits-all script. Teresa uses common-sense tools and clear goals to guide sessions. She draws on approaches like client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral ideas to break problems into manageable steps.
Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are used when they fit the person’s needs. Her style is warm, direct, and respectful. Sessions are collaborative - she listens first, then helps set practical next steps you can try between meetings.
Teresa emphasizes small changes that add up over time. People often come for help with attachment issues, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, or workplace concerns. She also supports those navigating family of origin patterns, forgiveness work, and questions about life purpose.
Teresa adapts the pace and focus to match each person’s goals.
How Teresa’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. It means sessions begin with listening, then shaping conversation and goals around what matters to the individual. This approach is helpful for people who want their values and strengths to guide the work.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks worries and patterns into specific thoughts and actions you can test and change. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and when someone wants concrete strategies to shift mood and behavior. Mindfulness therapy adds short practices to help notice thoughts and reduce reactivity in day-to-day moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Teresa works collaboratively to choose or blend methods based on your needs, goals, and what you prefer. She will check in about what’s working and adjust the plan as you go.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text work well for quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to keep consistent work on goals and to use therapy around work, family, or other commitments.
