About Teresa
Teresa Fowler is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Michigan with 18 years of clinical experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy concerns, and career-related issues. Sessions are offered in English and American Sign Language.
Teresa focuses on what makes day-to-day life harder. She talks through concrete problems like workplace frustration, resentment in close relationships, parenting pressures, and the effects of grief or trauma. Her approach emphasizes practical skills and real-life steps rather than jargon or long theoretical explanations.
She draws on several therapeutic styles to match what each person needs. Teresa uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered methods, and Existential ideas to help people notice patterns, try different coping strategies, and change unhelpful reactions. Conversations tend to be direct and action-focused, with attention to values and present-moment choices.
Teresa aims to help people build routines that reduce overwhelm. That can mean practice with emotion-regulation skills, shifting rigid thoughts, setting boundaries, or improving communication. She also supports people managing chronic illness, caregiver stress, grief, addiction concerns, and issues related to attachment and abandonment.
Her work is collaborative: she listens, offers feedback, and suggests exercises clients can use between sessions. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to set goals and priorities.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values instead of being driven by immediate impulses. ACT can be useful for frustration, resentment, and problems that recur despite good intentions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thought patterns and behaviors that feed anger, anxiety, or low mood. It often includes short exercises and behavioral experiments to test new ways of reacting.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Teresa will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences, combining skills training with values-focused work and practical homework when helpful.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the profile does not list them explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce time spent traveling, or use shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats require less video or bandwidth, which can help on a tight schedule, while others allow for longer, practice-focused sessions. The therapist will discuss what works best during the first meeting and tailor the plan to current life demands.
