Teresa Walton-Skinner, LPC - Therapist in Georgia

About Teresa

Teresa Walton-Skinner is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and relationship strains. She writes and speaks plainly in sessions so parents and caregivers can quickly connect with practical steps. Teresa offers steady, respectful support and aims to make the first conversations feel manageable and clear.

With four years of practice as an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Georgia, she pulls from methods that help people change how they think and what they do.

Background and approach

Teresa blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered listening to tailor each plan. Sessions are shaped around what a person needs right now, whether that is coping strategies, communication skills, or problem-focused action. She has worked with people facing anger, grief, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and issues around self-esteem and identity.

Teresa also addresses life transitions, workplace stress, caregiver strain, aging concerns, ADHD, and parenting questions. Her background includes service delivery and program development, which informs a practical, organized approach to therapy. Therapy sessions with her tend to be interactive.

Teresa asks questions, reflects what she hears, and helps clients try new approaches between meetings. She avoids labels that shame people and focuses instead on small changes that add up. If someone wants to sort priorities, improve communication, or find clearer coping tools, Teresa helps set realistic goals and tracks progress in a straightforward way.

How Teresa's Approaches Work Online

Teresa uses client-centered therapy, which means she listens closely and follows the person's lead to understand what matters most. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes goals around their values and priorities.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT, a practical method that helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many daily challenges because it focuses on small, testable changes.

Solution-Focused Therapy rounds out her work by concentrating on immediate next steps and strengths. It helps people find quick, achievable ways forward when they need practical progress rather than long exploration.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Teresa works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in and adjusts plans as progress is made so the work stays relevant and helpful.

Online formats let sessions happen from home or another convenient place. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text-based messaging supports shorter check-ins or timely coaching. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting into busy family and work schedules.

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.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
