Theresa Cloyd , LPC

Theresa Cloyd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arizona who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, and major life changes. She brings a compassionate, client-centered approach that emphasizes listening, collaboration, and practical skill-building to support recovery from mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and challenges with self-esteem.

Theresa draws from evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral strategies and dialectical behavior skills, tailoring interventions to each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. She aims to create an empathetic space where clients can explore difficult experiences, develop coping tools, and gradually build the resilience needed to manage everyday demands and long-standing patterns.

With six years of clinical experience, Theresa combines professional training and genuine care to help clients identify goals and take steps toward them. Her work is collaborative, focusing on practical strategies for emotion regulation, self-understanding, and improved functioning so individuals can move toward the life they envision for themselves.

Approaches for Online Therapy and Practical Support

Theresa uses client-centered therapy to prioritize each person's values and goals, creating a collaborative space where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports self-directed growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to help manage intense emotions and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Theresa works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as the work progresses so the plan remains practical and relevant.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility in how care is delivered. Sessions can happen through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not possible. This variety of options can help clients access consistent support in ways that match their daily routines and comfort levels.
