Teresa Vossen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 30 years of professional experience, licensed to practice in both Virginia and New York. As an LCSW she brings the education and clinical training of social work to support individuals navigating emotional and life challenges.

Her work focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, cope with grief and loss, address parenting concerns, and build motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Teresa's clinical approach includes Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Therapy, each described in plain language to help prospective clients understand what to expect. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where the client’s own goals and insights guide the work; it is often helpful for building self-esteem and exploring life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for addressing stress, anxiety, and coping skills. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can support people dealing with grief, transitions, or ongoing stress.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Teresa works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods fit best based on each person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy provides practical flexibility for many people. Sessions may take place by video call or phone, and additional support can be offered through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change.
