Teresa Adams, LPC - Therapist in Mississippi

About Teresa

Teresa Adams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on relationships, families, and parenting. She draws on 16 years of clinical experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. Teresa describes her style as warm, direct, and practical, aiming to make daily life more manageable for families.

Teresa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that fuel anxiety and low mood.

Background and approach

She also applies the Gottman Method for relationship work, focusing on communication skills and rebuilding trust. These approaches are used to address intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Her background includes graduate training and continuing education in anxiety, depression, stress, conflict, communication, and sexual issues.

Teresa also has experience working with adoption and foster care situations, blended family challenges, and aging or end-of-life concerns. She brings practical problem-solving to topics such as fertility, fatherhood, and family of origin questions. Sessions tend to be straightforward and conversational.

Teresa asks direct questions to clarify patterns and then offers tools families can use between sessions. The focus is on small changes that make daily life easier and relationships more resilient. Teresa works from Mississippi and conducts therapy in English.

She accepts international clients and offers a range of online session formats to fit different needs.

Practical therapy approaches for families online

Teresa regularly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients spot thought patterns that increase anxiety or low mood and then practice small behavioral changes that reduce stress. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and everyday coping skills.

She also applies the Gottman Method when working on relationship and communication challenges. This method focuses on improving how partners talk to each other, repairing trust, and building routines that prevent common conflicts from escalating.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Teresa discusses goals and preferences with each person or household and then recommends methods that fit their situation. She adapts tools over time based on what helps most and checks in regularly about progress.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families. Video calls let people meet face-to-face from home, phone sessions work when a screen isn’t available, and live chat or text messaging provide brief check-ins or support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit consistent help into a packed schedule while using the same therapeutic approaches she would in person.

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.

Gottman Method

A research-based framework for couples, focused on how partners argue, repair, and stay connected. Practical and structured, with exercises to try between sessions.
