About Teresa
Teresa Fowler is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 18 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, relationship and family issues, and concerns like grief, trauma, or compassion fatigue. She also supports those coping with ADHD, self-esteem struggles, career stress, intimacy issues, anger, and major life changes.
Her style is direct, patient, and compassionate. Teresa listens closely and works with each person to find practical steps that fit daily life.
Background and approach
She leans on several proven methods and tailors them to what feels useful in the moment. Teresa combines acceptance-based work with client-centered care. She also uses cognitive-behavioral and dialectical techniques when needed.
Sessions often focus on building skills, shifting unhelpful patterns, and clarifying values and goals. In practice she emphasizes strengths and realistic action. Teresa helps people identify resources, set small achievable steps, and track progress.
She aims to make therapy feel manageable and relevant to everyday problems. Teresa offers services in English and American Sign Language. Sessions are provided through a mix of online formats so people can choose what works best for them.
To begin, a short questionnaire helps match needs and preferences before scheduling.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online work
Teresa commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and connect actions to personal values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors through practical exercises, which often helps with stress, mood, and coping skills.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Teresa will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods feel most helpful. She adjusts techniques as progress is made so the plan stays practical and meaningful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility for different schedules and needs. These options let people work on skill-building, values-based actions, and real-time problem solving without traveling. Teresa uses the available formats to make sessions fit daily life, supporting steady steps toward the client’s goals.
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.
