About Teresa

Teresa Fowler is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, depression, relationship concerns, and grief. She also supports people dealing with trauma, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and life changes.

Background and approach

Teresa brings 18 years of counseling experience and works with practical problems in everyday language. Her style is warm and person-centered.

Teresa listens carefully and meets people where they are. Sessions focus on goals clients set together and on skills that can be used between meetings.

Teresa blends several approaches to suit each person. She uses the Gottman Method alongside cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance and commitment strategies, and client-centered ways of working.

Dialectical skills and trauma-focused tools are also part of the mix when they fit the concern. She emphasizes action and strengths.

That means building small habits, improving communication, and practicing coping skills. Teresa explains steps clearly and gives straightforward feedback so clients can try changes outside sessions.

Teresa is based in Michigan and offers services in English and American Sign Language. She values respect, dignity, and a collaborative relationship.

People who choose her often want practical help, steady support, and a clear plan to move forward.

Practical approaches for online healing and growth

Teresa commonly integrates the Gottman Method and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her online work. The Gottman Method focuses on communication patterns, reducing conflict, and rebuilding connection through specific exercises and conversations. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify values, and take committed action toward a meaningful life.

She approaches the choice of method as a collaboration. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily demands, then try approaches that fit. Adjustments are made over time so the work stays useful and aligned with what the client wants to accomplish.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face-to-face for skills practice and interaction. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief coaching, tracking progress, and keeping momentum between visits. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep consistent momentum on agreed goals.
