About Teresa
Teresa Longo is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside a wide range of individual issues. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and parenting challenges. Teresa aims to make the first step feel easier by offering a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk through painful experiences.
Teresa creates a clear, straightforward approach in sessions. She listens first and helps people reflect on what matters most.
Background and approach
Conversations are practical and aimed at small, steady changes that make daily life easier. Her work draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Existential ideas help clients consider values, meaning, and choices in their lives. Teresa brings 20 years of professional experience in New York to her practice. She holds an LMHC, New York license number NY LMHC 002017, and uses that background to guide treatment planning and goals.
Sessions address a broad list of concerns including trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, ADHD, eating difficulties, and career stress. She also supports people facing family transitions, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and separation or divorce.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person's experience and building trust. In practice this means the therapist listens deeply and follows the client's pace to create room for honest conversation and clearer choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical ways to shift them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related patterns.Teresa uses these approaches together to match what a person needs in the moment. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose methods that fit their goals, values, and daily life, adjusting as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to maintain continuity when life gets disrupted. For many people, remote sessions keep therapy consistent, reduce travel time, and allow follow-up between meetings in ways that support steady progress.
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.
Existential Therapy
Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
