About Teresa
Teresa Longo is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 20 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and self-esteem difficulties. Teresa also supports people facing relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, and life transitions.
Her sessions are straightforward and person-focused. Teresa listens to what is happening now and helps people notice patterns in thoughts and behavior. She uses clear, practical techniques to reduce intense reactions and build better ways of handling stress and anger.
Teresa combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques. That means she gives space for people to talk through their concerns while also offering simple tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also draws on existential ideas to help people clarify values and choices when life feels confusing.
In practice this looks like short skills training, talking through recent incidents, and planning small experiments to test new approaches. Teresa helps people set goals for clearer communication, fewer impulsive reactions, and steadier mood control. She pays attention to how past experiences affect current patterns without focusing only on diagnosis.
People often come for help with anger that shows up at work or at home, addictive behaviors, or the drain of caregiving and compassion fatigue. Teresa invites honest conversation about setbacks and progress so clients can make steady, manageable change.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Teresa uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting so people can describe what matters to them. This approach helps when anger and frustration feel hard to put into words. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is also a core part of her work and emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes to reduce intense reactions.Existential Therapy appears in conversations about values, meaning, and choices. That work helps when clients feel stuck or overwhelmed by life changes and want clearer priorities. Deciding which approaches to use is a collaborative process. Teresa will talk with the client about goals, try tools, and adjust methods based on what actually helps.

They also let people use video or audio to suit bandwidth or comfort levels. The focus will be on practical skills, clearer communication, and testing small changes in everyday situations.
