About Teresa
Teresa Gehman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with 30 years of experience. She works with adults on problems like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and anger. Teresa also supports people dealing with relationship strain, intimacy concerns, parenting stress, and issues related to LGBT identity.
Teresa uses straightforward, practical methods rather than jargon. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small changes. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions.
Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and solutions. Teresa can help someone who loses their temper with people close to them, who carries growing resentment, or who feels overwhelmed by stress at work. She works on communication, boundary skills, and managing physical signs of anger so it does not derail relationships or jobs.
Teresa has a long history of helping people with trauma, grief, eating concerns, bipolar mood issues, and compassion fatigue. She often combines client-centered listening with targeted techniques to address specific problems. The result is a mix of practical skill-building and chance to talk through painful experiences.
Her practice in New York reflects decades of clinical work. For someone looking to manage anger more effectively, Teresa offers steady, experienced support and methods aimed at real-world changes.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values; it is useful for managing anger that comes from avoidance or rumination. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and then testing new responses; it helps with anger that shows up as quick judgments or repeated patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape reactions now and can help people understand why they get triggered in close relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Teresa will collaborate with the client to choose and adapt methods based on the person’s goals, daily life, and what feels workable. That means trying ideas, checking what helps, and shifting course if needed.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules - shorter check-ins, not needing travel time, or scheduling around work breaks. It can also allow sessions that focus on practical skill practice and homework between meetings. Licensed professionals can use these formats to keep the work focused on real-life changes rather than abstract talk.
