About Terese
Terese Fagan is a licensed clinical social worker with eleven years of experience in Connecticut. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, and anger. She aims to meet people where they are and help them find practical steps forward.
She believes clients are the experts on their own lives and brings a person-centered style to sessions. That means she listens first and tailors support to each person's goals.
Background and approach
She uses straightforward tools to build motivation, strengthen coping skills, and increase confidence. Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral ideas along with acceptance and mindfulness practices. In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try different behaviors, and practice new ways of thinking.
She also uses existential ideas to help people weigh values and life choices when they feel stuck. Terese works with a wide range of concerns beyond mood and anxiety, including grief, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and issues around attachment or abandonment. She also supports people coping with life changes, career stresses, and problems tied to family of origin.
People can expect a calm, direct style that focuses on practical change. Terese offers a mix of short-term strategies and deeper exploration depending on what each person wants. She invites clients to set clear goals and to track progress as they try new ways of handling old problems.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and for anyone feeling stuck about life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going and practicing different responses to reduce symptoms and improve functioning. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience and pace, using empathic listening to help people build confidence and make decisions that fit their goals.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the client's needs, and adjust as progress unfolds. Many people benefit from combining techniques over time rather than sticking to a single label.
Online therapy offers flexibility and several ways to connect. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face when visual cues help. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, notes between sessions, or more frequent support without scheduling a full appointment. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy lives.
