About Theresa
Theresa Yucel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Texas and Louisiana with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues such as depression, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, and life transitions. Theresa draws on a few core therapeutic approaches to help people manage stress and cope with difficult moments at home.
She trained at Northwestern University where she earned a Master of Arts in Counseling. Early in her career she worked in an inpatient psychiatric hospital for three years managing crisis situations. After that she shifted to outpatient care and led adult and geriatric group therapy focused on adjustment and coping skills.
In sessions Theresa uses Client-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral, Psychodynamic, and Solution-Focused methods. That means she listens to what matters to the person, helps identify unhelpful thinking and patterns, looks at how past experiences relate to current problems, and works toward actionable steps to reduce distress.
People come to her for help with family-related stress, parenting strain, relationship problems, grief, anger, and struggles with self-esteem or purpose. She also supports issues such as panic attacks, bipolar challenges, and social anxiety by combining practical tools with talking through deeper concerns.
Theresa describes therapy as a partnership. She aims to build a trusting working relationship and to help clients develop clearer boundaries, better coping strategies, and a steadier day-to-day routine.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Theresa often integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person, which helps when someone needs space to talk about family stress or parenting strain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and gives practical tools to change them, useful for anxiety, panic, and low mood.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Theresa will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then try methods that match those needs. Over a few sessions she and the client can adjust the focus so the work fits everyday life and the current challenges.
