About Teresa

Teresa Buss is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with five years of clinical experience. She works with people who face stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, ADHD, and anger. Teresa also notes experience supporting LGBT clients and people coping with life changes and compassion fatigue.

She describes a straightforward, person-focused style. Teresa listens first to understand each person’s perspective. She emphasizes building a trusting relationship and works with people to make sense of behaviors and thoughts that feel stuck or unwanted.

Her approach draws on body-centered and narrative methods. Teresa uses breath work, image making, and techniques aimed at calming the nervous system. She combines those practices with conversations that help reframe experiences and create workable habits.

Teresa says she honors diagnoses while treating the whole person. She helps people set clear goals and makes collaborative plans to reach them. Motivation and steady encouragement are part of how she supports change when progress feels slow.

Much of her clinical focus comes from personal and professional experience with trauma. Teresa applies research-informed ideas about emotional regulation and post-traumatic growth to help people shift patterns over time. She accepts international clients and offers sessions in English. To begin, readers are asked to use the platform’s matching and scheduling steps.

How her approaches translate to online work

Teresa uses attachment-based ideas and client-centered methods to guide sessions. Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current reactions, which can help when anger comes from feeling threatened or disconnected. Client-centered methods mean conversations are led by the person’s concerns and goals, with the therapist reflecting and clarifying to deepen understanding.

She also draws on mindfulness techniques that use breath and body awareness. Those practices help reduce arousal and offer simple tools for managing moments of anger or overwhelm. In online sessions these exercises can be practiced together and then repeated between meetings to create steady habit changes.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Teresa works with each person to identify what feels most useful, adjusting methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. She frames therapy as step-by-step work rather than quick fixes.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into a busy life. It can also let people practice breathing or image-based exercises in a familiar setting and check progress without lengthy travel.
