Theresa Yucel, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Theresa

Theresa Yucel is a Licensed Professional Counselor who uses a collaborative, person-centered way of working. She focuses on clear communication and practical steps so parents can manage stress and family challenges. Theresa speaks plainly and keeps sessions focused on what matters now.

Theresa completed a Master of Arts in Counseling from Northwestern University. She holds LPC licensure in Texas and Louisiana - TX LPC 89587, LA LPC 6602. Her clinical work began in inpatient settings, where she spent three years supporting people at crisis points in psychiatric care.

Background and approach

After that period, she shifted to outpatient work with adults and older adults, including group therapy for geriatric clients. Theresa has a decade of full-time experience since 2015 that includes crisis intervention, adjustment issues, grief, and loss. Her most frequent areas of focus include depression, anxiety, stress, parenting, grief, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem.

She also addresses practical problems like communication, boundaries, and life transitions. Theresa combines client-centered listening with evidence-based tools to set small, achievable goals. Sessions tend to be straightforward - identifying what is hardest right now, trying a few strategies, and tracking what changes.

She frames therapy as a partnership aimed at helping people revive and rebuild balance in daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Theresa commonly blends client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, building trust, and helping people find their own solutions through a supportive relationship. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits.

Choosing the right approach usually happens together. Theresa will talk with the client about goals and preferences, and then suggest methods to try. The plan can change as needs shift, creating a collaborative path that stays focused on what helps most in daily life.

Online sessions offer several practical benefits for busy parents and caregivers. Video calls let conversations feel face-to-face, while phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging add flexibility for tight schedules. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to practice strategies between sessions without long commutes.

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.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Exploring how earlier relationships and patterns still shape the present, often over a longer stretch of time. It relies on conversation and reflection rather than exercises.
