About Theresa
Theresa Huffines, MD, LCSW-C, LCSW, brings eight years of clinical experience to her practice. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and life transitions. Her approach is practical and strengths-based, with an eye toward small, steady changes that add up over time.

Background and approach
Her background includes work in outpatient mental health, case management in therapeutic foster care, substance abuse outreach, and counseling center internships. Those roles shaped how she helps people deal with grief, mood shifts, and conflict. She has also supported people facing career and relationship stressors.
Theresa earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Social Work, and she holds an MD and both LCSW-C and LCSW credentials. Her training and varied roles give her experience working with a wide range of concerns, including addictions and compassion fatigue. Sessions are conversational and focused on real-world skills.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Theresa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to address stress, anger, anxiety, and mood concerns. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which works well in video or phone sessions when people bring real situations to discuss. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple breathing and grounding exercises to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation; these practices are easy to learn during a live session and practice between meetings.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration. That approach helps shape treatment around each person's goals and pace. Together the therapist and client decide which approach or mix of approaches feels most useful, and they adjust it as needs and goals change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and guided exercises, phone sessions can fit into tight schedules or work better when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins or shorter coaching-style exchanges. These options make it easier to keep momentum, practice skills between sessions, and stay connected when life gets hectic.
