About Tess
Dr. Tess DeProw helps with concerns such as depression, anxiety, addiction, relationship problems, parenting struggles, grief, trauma, stress, anger, intimacy issues, bipolar symptoms, career pressures, and coping with life changes. She presents a calm and encouraging presence and focuses on practical steps people can take.
The initial conversations are straightforward and meant to identify strengths and small, doable goals. Sessions are intended to feel supportive and action-oriented rather than overwhelming.
Background and approach
Dr. DeProw holds a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, licensed in Missouri (MO LPC 2017009222). She brings thirty years of experience to her work and draws on several approaches to match each person’s needs.
Her stated methods include cognitive-behavioral therapy, attachment-based and client-centered ideas, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative therapy. In practice she helps people notice patterns, try new ways of responding, and build on what already works for them. She explains options clearly and helps create short-term plans that fit daily life.
Her style is described as warm, empathetic, encouraging, and empowering. Therapy sessions can focus on one problem at a time or several related issues. The aim is to give concrete tools for managing symptoms and moving toward goals.
Dr. DeProw works from Missouri and offers services in English. Her approach centers on collaboration: identifying strengths, setting realistic steps, and checking progress along the way.
The work is paced to match the person’s comfort and readiness for change.
Approaches that guide online work and practical benefits
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses; it helps people see connection patterns and develop safer ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches specific skills to change them, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy encourages paying steady attention to present-moment experience and builds tools to reduce reactivity and increase calm.Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, lived realities, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they try approaches, check what helps, and adjust the plan so it fits daily life and personal preferences.
Online formats make it easier to keep therapy part of a busy routine. Video calls let people meet face to face from home, phone sessions work when video isn’t convenient, and live chat or text messaging provide short, flexible ways to touch base between longer sessions. These options support continuity of care and let people use the format that suits their schedule and comfort.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
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.
