Theresa Revans-McMenimon, LMFT - Therapist in New York

About Theresa

Theresa Revans-McMenimon is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on practical help for families and parents. She helps people sort through stress, relationship problems, parenting challenges, and career or life transitions. Theresa uses straightforward conversation to build clearer communication and healthier interactions at home.

She begins by helping people name their needs and wants. That self-awareness makes it easier to speak and listen without blame. Conversations in her sessions aim to teach respectful ways to talk, hear one another, and reflect back what was said.

Background and approach

Theresa has 18 years of clinical experience in New York as an LMFT. She has worked with individuals, couples, and families on communication problems, blended family issues, divorce and separation, parenting skills, and coping with anxiety. Her background includes training as a family specialist in LEND through the Westchester Institute for Human Development and New York Medical College.

Her tools include Client-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She uses these methods to help clients set goals, tell their stories in new ways, and take practical steps forward. Theresa also offers coaching-style support for career and transition planning.

Theresa aims to match each person or family with the best path forward. She will sometimes suggest another counselor when a different fit would better serve a client. Sessions can focus on improving communication, managing anger, addressing addiction concerns, or navigating financial and workplace stress.

Approaches that fit family life and online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s lead. It helps people feel understood so they can explore their needs and make choices about relationships and parenting.

Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. It is useful for issues like addictions, starting new routines, and making progress on parenting or career goals.

Theresa will work with each client to decide which approach or mix of approaches fits best. She collaborates on goals and adjusts methods as needs and preferences become clearer during early sessions.

Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules. Video calls let families meet face to face from home, while phone, live chat, and text-based messaging give flexible alternatives for shorter check-ins or for those who prefer typing. This range of options supports ongoing work on communication, parenting strategies, and life transitions without added travel time.

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.

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.

Narrative Therapy

Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
