About Theresa
Theresa Mayhew is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor based in Georgia with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, and the strain of parenting or career change. Her approach combines practical skills with straightforward conversation.
Theresa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice how thoughts shape reactions. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and the Gottman Method for relationship communication. Motivational Interviewing supports people making changes around addiction and ambivalence.
Sessions focus on clear goals and simple tools. Theresa helps people identify triggers for anger and build step-by-step strategies to respond differently. She teaches techniques for reducing workplace frustration, managing resentment at home, and handling repeated conflicts with the same person.
Theresa integrates problem-solving and short-term coaching alongside longer therapeutic work. She works through real situations people bring, practices new responses in session, and plans small experiments to try between visits. People leave with concrete steps to test in daily life.
Her background emphasizes adult care across mood disorders, grief, and post-traumatic stress, with experience addressing communication problems, divorce and separation issues, and isolation or loneliness. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients; confirm current session options before booking.
How Theresa uses common approaches in online sessions
Theresa draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts, test them, and change reactions. CBT is useful for anger driven by recurring thinking patterns and workplace or relationship triggers. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach practical emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT-style skills are helpful when strong feelings escalate quickly and when people need short-term tools to get through heated moments. The Gottman Method is used for communication practice and repairing repeated patterns between partners. It focuses on clear interaction skills and small behavior changes that improve understanding and reduce conflict. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Theresa will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences rather than starting with a fixed plan. Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as the biography did not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, or avoid travel time. Discussing your day-to-day routine helps plan sessions that fit ordinary life and the changes you want to try.Areas of expertise
