About Terese

Terese Jeppson is a licensed counselor in Colorado who focuses on family and parenting concerns along with stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. She has 15 years of experience as an LPC and LCPC and brings a calm, practical approach. She listens closely and helps parents and caregivers find clear steps to manage daily pressure.

The tone in sessions is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at relieving immediate strain and improving family interactions.

Background and approach

She uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person’s needs. That includes client-centered work that follows the client’s pace, trauma-focused methods for past hurts, and solution-focused tools to set short-term goals. EMDR is available when trauma memories are targets for resolution.

Motivational Interviewing supports change when addictions or ambivalence are present. In her work she emphasizes small, doable changes. Sessions often include talking through problems, practicing communication skills, and setting simple goals to test what helps.

She draws on fifteen years of clinical experience to adjust strategies as progress is made. Terese combines empathy with practical steps so parents can try new ways of handling conflict and stress. She explains techniques plainly and checks in about what’s working.

Her aim is to help clients feel more capable at home and better able to handle life’s transitions. Terese offers services in English and practices in Colorado as LPC, CO LPC 971 and LCPC, MT LCPC BBH-LCPC-LIC-43926. Sessions can include talk therapy, skill practice, and targeted trauma work based on each family’s needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the client's lead and building on strengths. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what she hears, and helps clients set goals that feel meaningful. This approach is useful for parenting stress, self-esteem, and relationship concerns.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, targets distressing memories and the emotions tied to them. It uses guided techniques to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and can be helpful for people struggling with past abuse or trauma symptoms.

Motivational Interviewing helps when a person feels unsure about change, such as with substance use or habits that cause problems. It uses guided conversation to clarify values and build motivation for small steps forward.

Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to a client’s needs, goals, and comfort level. She adjusts plans over time and checks in about what is helping.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to connect from different locations within Colorado. For many people, remote sessions allow steady progress with less travel and more immediate access to support.

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.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
