About Teresa
Teresa Buss is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, and anger. She presents a welcoming, nonjudgmental presence and focuses on building a strong, respectful relationship first. Teresa aims to help people make sense of why unwanted thoughts and behaviors show up now and supports small steps toward change.
Her style centers on compassion and collaboration. Teresa listens first and works with each person to set clear goals.
Background and approach
She uses body-centered techniques, breath work, and image-making alongside conversation to help form new habits and responses. This approach is practical and hands-on rather than only talk-based. Teresa draws on current trauma research to guide her approach.
She emphasizes emotional regulation and creating new personal narratives after difficult experiences. That work can look like practicing breath exercises, noticing bodily reactions, and trying new ways of telling one’s story to reduce the power of painful memories. She also uses client-centered, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, attachment-based, and narrative tools to match the work to a person’s needs.
Teresa prefers to create a treatment plan together and adjust it as progress happens. She describes the process as steady, realistic steps toward a more manageable daily life. Teresa has five years of clinical experience and offers services in English.
She welcomes conversations with people who want practical strategies and relational support while working through life changes and recovery from trauma.

Approaches that guide online sessions and healing
Teresa uses attachment-based ideas to help people understand how early relationships shape responses today. That approach looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people try new ways of connecting and feeling safe with others.She also practices client-centered therapy, which puts the person’s own experience at the center of the session. The therapist listens deeply and follows the person’s pace while offering empathy and honest feedback to support growth.
Mindfulness techniques are part of the work as well, teaching simple breathing and body-awareness exercises. These skills help with emotional regulation, reducing reactivity, and managing stress in daily life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Teresa will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical access to care. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep steady progress over time.
