About Theresa
Theresa Kibbe is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 21 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing addiction, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, low self-esteem, stress, anxiety, grief, anger, bipolar disorder, and depression. She also addresses family-of-origin issues, caregiver stress, codependency, and control or communication problems.
Theresa treats each person as the expert on their life. She listens for what already works, then helps people build on those strengths. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps rather than abstract theory. She encourages small, doable changes that reduce tension and improve day-to-day functioning.
Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral methods to notice unhelpful thinking and change behavioral patterns. She uses trauma-focused techniques and somatic work to help the body and mind settle after overwhelming events. Theresa also incorporates EMDR when appropriate to process painful memories and reduce their hold on current reactions.
People can expect straightforward conversations about triggers, patterns, and manageable coping tools. Theresa talks through concrete strategies for handling anger, stress, cravings, and eating-related problems. She prioritizes realistic plans that fit normal life routines.
Theresa works in English and practices in South Carolina. Starting therapy begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. The counseling subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.
Online work with CBT, EMDR, and somatic approaches
Theresa uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice the thoughts and habits that feed anger and stress, then test small behavior changes that reduce reactivity. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, often focusing on one problem and measurable steps to change it.She also integrates EMDR when processing traumatic memories that keep triggering strong emotional responses. EMDR aims to reduce the intensity of painful memories so they interfere less with daily life. Somatic therapy is used alongside these methods to track and calm bodily reactions that show up when someone feels overwhelmed.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Theresa will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, EMDR, somatic techniques, or a combination fits best for their goals and preferences. This choice can change over time as progress is made.
