About Theresa
Theresa Yucel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with ten years of clinical experience. She aims to build a straightforward, no-judgment space where people can talk through stress, anxiety, grief, anger, and life transitions. Theresa keeps language simple and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions.
She began her training with a Master of Arts in Counseling from Northwestern University. Early work included three years in an inpatient psychiatric hospital handling crisis situations.
Background and approach
That experience shaped how she approaches sudden or intense problems and short-term stabilization. Theresa later shifted to outpatient care, focusing on adult and geriatric group therapy. She has spent most of her career supporting people facing adjustment issues, loss, and ongoing mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder.
She also helps with relationship stress, parenting challenges, and exploring identity issues including LGBT concerns. Her day-to-day work blends listening with practical techniques. She draws on client-centered methods to follow each person’s priorities, uses cognitive behavioral strategies to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and includes psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns.
Solution-focused tools are used for goal-driven weeks when quick changes are needed. Theresa describes therapy as a partnership. She works to help people develop healthier boundaries, better self-care habits, and clearer life goals.
Her practice emphasizes steady progress and usable skills rather than jargon or long lectures.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Theresa frequently uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy during online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's concerns, which helps when someone needs a calm place to be heard. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes, a useful fit for anxiety, anger, and mood issues.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Theresa will work with each person to pick approaches that match their goals, preferences, and the problems they're facing. Together they may try different techniques and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work well for people with lower bandwidth or when they prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, maintaining momentum between sessions, or fitting support into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, caregiving, or other demands.
