Teddi Plummer, LPCC - Therapist in California

About Teddi

Teddi Plummer is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) practicing in California. She brings nine years of clinical experience and a calm, encouraging presence to sessions. Teddi aims to help people build hope and practical skills for daily life.

She is respectful of clients who use faith or spirituality as part of healing. Teddi draws on several evidence-based approaches to tailor support to each person. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take meaningful action.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are taught for emotion regulation when needed. Her background includes work in crisis settings and emergency rooms, and experience supporting people with complex presentations such as severe mood disorders, trauma, and co-occurring substance concerns.

She has facilitated groups for anger management, parenting, and behavioral addictions, and she is a certified SMART Recovery facilitator and Nurturing Parenting facilitator. Teddi favors a collaborative, client-centered style. Sessions focus on practical tools, gentle challenge, and building coping skills that fit daily life.

She aims to listen first, then offer techniques that clients can try between meetings. She provides services in English and accepts international clients. Remote formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Cost varies by location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name what matters to them and then take small steps toward those values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and challenges where motivation or direction feels unclear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that get in the way, then teaching concrete strategies to change them. It often helps with depression, anxiety, and patterns that repeat in daily life.

Deciding on an approach is a joint process. Teddi will work with each person to see which methods feel most helpful, combining techniques as needed. The goal is to match tools to a person's needs, preferences, and goals rather than sticking to one single method.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These options let people fit sessions around work, family, and travel and allow ongoing check-ins between meetings. Licensed professionals can teach the same coping skills and exercises remotely, and the different formats make it easier to practice skills in real life and follow up in the way that suits each person best.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
