About Teresa
Teresa Adams is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 16 years of professional experience based in Mississippi. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting questions, depression, intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem, life changes, and ADHD. Teresa uses practical conversation and structured techniques to help people understand what gets in the way of connection and calm.
She trained in marriage and family therapy and has a background that includes work with blended families, adoption and foster care, fatherhood issues, and fertility concerns. Teresa draws on approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the Gottman Method to look at patterns between thoughts, behaviors, and relationship habits. Sessions often include clear strategies for communication, problem solving, and managing intense feelings.
Teresa also brings experience with end-of-life and hospice matters, aging and geriatric issues, and navigating divorce or separation. She addresses body image, sexual and intimacy-related problems, and the effects of family-of-origin or past hurts on current relationships. Practical tools and straightforward conversations are used to reduce worry and improve day-to-day functioning.
Her work blends clinical techniques with faith-informed perspectives when clients request that framing. Teresa says she is willing to ask direct questions when needed and focuses on actionable steps people can try between sessions. The approach is conversational, goal-focused, and aimed at reducing the patterns that feed anger, resentment, and recurring conflict.
Work begins by clarifying immediate problems and what a person wants to change. From there she helps identify small, manageable steps to try, then tracks progress and adjusts the plan as needed.
How Teresa’s approaches translate to online sessions
Teresa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT focuses on small experiments and practical skills that reduce worry, reactivity, and anger in day-to-day life. She also applies elements of the Gottman Method to address relationship patterns. That work looks at communication habits, conflict cycles, and concrete skills for rebuilding trust and reducing resentment between partners. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they pick methods and steps to try, then adjust based on what helps. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life. They may allow shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, and let people join from a quieter place with fewer interruptions.
