About Therese
Therese Muir is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) based in Michigan with three decades of experience. She centers her work on practical strategies and clear steps to help people manage strong emotions and day-to-day stress. Her years in practice shape a calm, steady approach for those facing anger, anxiety, or depression.
Therese focuses on helping people handle stress, panic attacks, and trauma-related problems. She also supports those dealing with substance use, grief, low self-esteem, and mood instability such as bipolar symptoms.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to identify patterns, build new skills, and create small changes that add up over time. Her style combines client-centered listening with evidence-informed techniques. She uses cognitive behavioral methods to spot unhelpful thought patterns and DBT skills to manage intense emotions.
Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are woven in to strengthen present-moment awareness and boost motivation for change. Therese explains things in simple terms and works at a pace that feels manageable. Conversations are practical - practicing new ways to respond to triggers, rehearsing calmer reactions, and planning steps for difficult moments.
Many clients find short, concrete tools helpful between sessions. She offers video, phone, chat, and text-based sessions to fit different schedules. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions to match availability.

Practical approaches you can use online
Therese uses client-centered work that starts by listening to each person’s story and priorities. This approach focuses on understanding what matters to the person and building on their strengths to set realistic goals.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety, anger, and low mood. DBT skills are used to teach concrete emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal tools for handling strong reactions.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. That way the work fits the person rather than forcing a single method.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversation and teaching skills in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text are helpful for brief check-ins, ongoing support, or practicing short skills between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, school, or family commitments.
