About Terese

Terese Fagan is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Connecticut with 11 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and challenges like parenting or career strain. Terese emphasizes each person's strengths and treats clients as the expert on their own life.

She uses a person-centered approach that aims to listen first and then set clear, reachable goals together. Sessions often include concrete strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness skills.

Background and approach

The emphasis is on small changes that add up over time. Terese also brings Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas into sessions to help people notice what matters to them and take steps toward those values. She works with issues like grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, codependency, and caregiver stress with a steady, practical focus.

Expect straightforward conversations that look at habits, thoughts, and actions. Her style is respectful and encouraging. Terese helps people make decisions about next steps, whether that means short-term coping tools or longer work on patterns and relationships.

She aims to help clients leave sessions with something useful to try between meetings. Clients meet with Terese by phone, video, live chat, or text-based messaging. Conversations are shaped around the client’s goals and everyday life so therapy fits into what they already do.

Approaches Terese names

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

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care

Terese commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take small steps toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical tools to shift those patterns for better daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Terese works collaboratively with each person to identify goals and tries different strategies to see what fits best. She values clear planning and often adjusts methods based on what helps a client make steady progress.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different preferences and routines. Video calls let people use visual connection for deeper conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can serve as shorter check-ins or flexible support between longer talks. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
