About Tess
Dr. Tess DeProw is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 30 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing anger, addictions, depression, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and grief. Her practice also addresses parenting strain, intimacy-related concerns, career stress, bipolar mood issues, and major life changes.
Dr. DeProw focuses on practical steps people can take when feelings become overwhelming. She helps identify personal strengths and builds a clear plan to handle difficult moments. Sessions emphasize straightforward skills and decision points rather than jargon or vague promises.
Her approach draws on cognitive-behavioral methods, motivational interviewing, narrative techniques, client-centered work, and attachment-informed ideas. In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thinking, test different behaviours, and tell the stories that shape how they react. These tools aim to increase choices in how someone responds to anger, stress, or addictive urges.
People meet someone who prefers a direct, encouraging style and who spends time setting concrete goals. Early work often includes mapping triggers, practicing new responses, and planning small experiments to try between sessions. Later work looks at patterns that keep old reactions in place and how to shift them.
Dr. DeProw offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled through the site.
How she uses approaches in online care
Dr. DeProw commonly blends cognitive-behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing in her work. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and tests new behaviors through short experiments. Motivational interviewing focuses on the client’s own reasons for change and builds momentum for trying new responses.She also uses client-centered and attachment-informed ideas to pay attention to how relationships shape reactions. That can help when anger is tied to trust, rejection, or patterns learned early in life. These approaches aim to make sense of responses and give practical alternatives to try between meetings.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with the client about goals, try different techniques, and adjust plans based on what helps. The initial sessions often include mapping triggers, setting a few small goals, and deciding which methods to emphasize going forward.
