About Theresa
Theresa Kibbe is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 21 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with addiction, trauma, eating concerns, mood challenges, stress, grief, and anger. Theresa focuses on practical steps people can try right away.
She meets people where they are and treats them with respect and straightforward care. Theresa believes clients know their own stories and brings that perspective into sessions.
Background and approach
She uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Trauma-focused methods and somatic techniques are available when past events or body-based stress are part of the problem. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs.
Theresa aims to help people build confidence, manage intense feelings, and make small changes that add up. She explains options and works together with clients to choose what feels most useful. Over two decades working in counseling has given Theresa experience with a wide range of concerns, including family of origin patterns, codependency, communication problems, and caregiver stress.
She also supports people dealing with bipolar symptoms, eating and body-image issues, and recovery from domestic violence. Theresa offers sessions in English and practices in South Carolina. She encourages people to take the first step and complete a short matching questionnaire to begin scheduling.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Theresa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. CBT focuses on the connection between thinking and behavior, which can reduce anxiety, improve mood, and help manage anger when practiced in sessions and as at-home exercises.She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to address distress from past events. EMDR involves guided attention while recalling upsetting memories to reduce their emotional intensity, and it is often used for trauma and abuse recovery.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Theresa will work with each person to choose or blend methods based on symptoms, goals, and what feels comfortable. She explains options clearly and adjusts the plan as progress is made so clients feel involved in decisions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and exercises, phone sessions can fit shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is low, and chat or messaging is useful for brief support, tracking progress, or checking in between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to access licensed professionals from different locations.
