About Teresa

Teresa Fernandez helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, family tension, trauma and parenting challenges. She also supports those facing depression and issues like loneliness, guilt, or trouble connecting with others. Teresa speaks English and Spanish and brings a straightforward, compassionate approach to sessions.

Teresa practices as a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - in Wisconsin and has three years of professional experience. She treats people as the experts of their own lives and looks for strengths to build on.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. In conversation she listens closely and helps people name what feels most urgent. Teresa uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness to help shift thought patterns and reduce strong emotions.

She also draws on dialectical skills and motivational interviewing ideas when exploring change and managing difficult feelings. Meetings are a mix of talking, skill practice, and setting small goals. Teresa aims to make work feel manageable and relevant to daily life.

The tone is direct but warm, and she checks in about what is and isn't working as therapy moves forward. People who come to Teresa often want clearer communication, more self-compassion, or help handling stressful situations. She helps break big problems into smaller steps and supports people as they try new ways of coping.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Approaches that translate well to online work

Teresa commonly uses cognitive behavioral methods to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so small experiments can test what changes improve daily life. She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach simple present-moment skills for managing stress and intense emotion; these practices can be done in short exercises between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Teresa checks in about goals and preferences and adjusts methods as people try techniques and report what helps. She encourages people to try skills in real situations and brings those results back into sessions to refine the plan together.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make scheduling more flexible. Video works well for deeper conversations and skill coaching, phone can fit a quick check-in during a break, and chat or messaging let people touch base and practice ideas between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy days and continue work consistently.
