Theresa Mayhew, LPC - Therapist in Georgia

About Theresa

Theresa Mayhew is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 14 years of experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and parenting strain. She also supports people facing relationship problems, anger, and major life changes.

She uses practical, skills-based methods to help people manage symptoms and make small changes that add up. Sessions focus on clear goals and step-by-step strategies rather than long explanations. Theresa tailors tools to what each person needs in daily life.

Background and approach

Her background includes work with mood disorders, trauma and abuse, bipolar conditions, and post-traumatic stress concerns. She also addresses communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence consequences, and issues like guilt, shame, and isolation. Theresa draws from several approaches when shaping a plan.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and change behavioral patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy contributes emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills. Solution-Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing help set achievable steps and build motivation.

People often come for straightforward support with parenting stress, self-esteem, career crossroads, or coping after loss. Theresa works to make sessions practical and focused so clients can try new skills between meetings and notice progress over time.

How Theresa’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

The Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) she uses focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It is practical work that helps with anxiety, depression, and habit patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for regulating emotions and tolerating distress, which is useful for anger and intense emotional states. The Gottman Method centers on improving communication and rebuilding trust in relationship interactions by practicing specific conversation skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Theresa will collaborate with clients to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts techniques as progress is made so therapy fits each person’s pace and priorities.

The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow people to work on skills between sessions in their usual routines. Licensed professionals can use video or phone to guide skill practice, coach through communication exercises, and follow up on homework so therapeutic work continues between meetings.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

Gottman Method

A research-based framework for couples, focused on how partners argue, repair, and stay connected. Practical and structured, with exercises to try between sessions.
