About Teresa
Teresa Mack is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who brings 11 years of clinical experience to her work. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, or major life changes.
Background and approach
Teresa writes in plain language and aims to make the first steps into therapy easier for people who are nervous about starting. Her approach combines practical skills and clear conversation.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and coping skills, and the Gottman Method to support relationship communication when that is relevant.
Teresa believes each person knows their own story best. She works collaboratively, listening first and then offering tools that match what the client wants to accomplish.
Sessions focus on doable steps such as managing panic attacks, reducing social anxiety, or navigating grief. She has a track record helping people with shame, isolation, post-traumatic stress, and panic disorder symptoms.
Teresa uses short-term strategies when helpful and adjusts pacing based on each person’s needs. Her style is straightforward, compassionate, and goal-oriented.
Theresa’s practice is based in Texas and she conducts sessions in English. She encourages those who feel ready to take the next step to reach out and begin the matching process.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Teresa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change thinking patterns that feed anxiety and low mood. CBT sessions often focus on specific skills and homework that can be practiced between meetings to reduce symptoms and build confidence.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques for managing intense emotions and improving coping skills. DBT-based work in sessions includes breathing and grounding practices, emotion regulation tools, and step-by-step plans for handling crises. The Gottman Method informs her work when communication and relationship patterns matter, offering concrete strategies for clearer conversations and reduced conflict.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Teresa listens to each person’s goals and preferences, then suggests methods that fit those needs. She adjusts plans as progress is made so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for real-time conversation and skill coaching, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging works well for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between appointments.
