About Teresa
Teresa Stebner is a Licensed Professional Mental Health Counselor (LPMHC) in Delaware with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anxiety, parenting concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, and a wide range of life stresses and transitions.
Teresa uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. She pays attention to how past experiences and family systems connect with present struggles. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps people can use between meetings as well as talking through feelings and patterns that keep coming up.
She often draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Attachment-based thinking is used to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is included to help people clarify values and act on them even when emotions are hard.
Teresa encourages clients to become their own advocates. That means helping people name strengths they already have and practice skills that build confidence. She describes the work as collaborative and straightforward, with attention to both the past and present.
Her extra focus areas include caregiver stress, body image, ADHD, autism and Asperger syndrome, substance use concerns, and issues around infidelity, divorce, or separation. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients, so people living outside Delaware can inquire about options.
Initial steps are simple: follow the online sign-up flow, complete the short questionnaire, and schedule a first session to see how the approach fits current needs.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Teresa often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside cognitive behavioral techniques. ACT focuses on helping people choose actions that reflect their values even when emotions are strong, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early connections shape current responses, useful for intimacy and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to build practical coping skills for stress, anger, and addictive behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Teresa will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. She checks in about what helps and adjusts the mix of techniques as therapy progresses so sessions stay focused and useful.

Online work can also let someone keep regular appointments while managing school, work, or caregiving responsibilities.
