About Theresa

Theresa Shultz helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, trauma, and depression. She is a licensed clinical social worker, LCSW, based in North Carolina. Her style is warm, direct, and nonjudgmental.

She focuses on clear goals and simple steps clients can use between sessions.

Background and approach

In sessions she works as a teammate rather than an authority. She asks about what matters most, helps set achievable goals, and suggests tools to try. Those tools can include strategies to manage mood, reduce anxiety, and address addictive patterns.

Therapeutic methods she uses include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, client-centered talk, and motivational interviewing. Theresa selects techniques based on the person’s needs and the goals they set together. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules.

Sessions follow a pace chosen by the client so progress can feel steady and manageable. To begin, a simple matching process leads to scheduling a first session.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on choosing actions that match personal values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple attention skills to reduce stress and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted over time based on what proves helpful.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing, flexible contact between appointments. These formats give more choices for scheduling and for how someone prefers to communicate with a therapist.
