About Theresa
Theresa Ewing is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage grief, anxiety, stress, depression, and major life changes. She focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier. Her approach is straightforward and focused on small, useful goals.
Theresa draws on methods from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Sessions usually include identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying new coping skills, and practicing ways to handle strong emotions.
Background and approach
She aims to make strategies easy to use between sessions. Theresa has four years of clinical experience and has spent additional time working in healthcare settings. That background shaped her work with caregivers, end-of-life situations, and people facing medical or life transitions.
She uses that experience to help people find realistic ways forward. In sessions she works collaboratively to set clear goals and break them into manageable steps. Conversations are practical and paced to each person’s needs.
Theresa emphasizes skills people can apply right away to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Theresa offers help with relationship stress, parenting concerns, career pressure, and issues tied to family of origin. She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, isolation, aging-related concerns, and pregnancy or postpartum adjustments.
Her work is aimed at real-life change rather than abstract theory.

Online support
Using CBT and DBT Online to Build Practical Skills
Theresa uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with more balanced ways of thinking. That method is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. DBT techniques can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when relationships and boundaries need clearer handling.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Theresa works with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what is working in day-to-day life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people talk face to face when that helps; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging provide flexible ways to share updates, practice skills, or check in between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical schedules while still focusing on usable coping skills and progress.
