About Thérèse
Thérèse Fletcher offers a practical, person-focused approach to therapy. She uses clear goals and steady support to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, relationship problems, and life changes. Thérèse is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, which reflects over a decade of practice in medical and social services.
She aims to meet people where they are and work alongside them to set useful, realistic goals. Thérèse has 13 years of experience working in urban settings with vulnerable populations.
Background and approach
That background shaped a straightforward style that balances short-term problem solving and longer-term emotional work. She helps people build coping skills and regain confidence while also addressing the everyday issues that get in the way of feeling well. Her sessions focus on practical steps and personal strengths.
She can help with career concerns, parenting stress, addiction struggles, sleep problems, and caring for an ill family member. She also supports people facing life transitions like aging, adoption or foster care challenges, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and financial stress. Thérèse draws from several counseling methods to suit different needs.
She often uses client-centered conversations, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and narrative or solution-focused methods to shift thinking and behavior. Together with each person she develops strategies that fit their life and goals. People who work with her can expect collaboration and respect.
She emphasizes practical tools, accountability, and steady encouragement so clients can move toward clearer choices and more satisfying daily life.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding a person's experience and building trust through listening and validation. It helps people clarify what matters to them and build motivation to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses concrete steps to shift unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that maintain anxiety, depression, or stress.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These techniques are useful for managing stress, improving sleep, and coping with strong emotions.
Finding the right approach is a team effort between the therapist and the person seeking help. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and daily life to select or combine methods that make the most sense. That plan can change over time as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people connect face to face, phone sessions work when bandwidth or camera use is difficult, and live chat or text messaging can be useful for short check-ins and ongoing accountability. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while still getting consistent support.
