About Theresa
Theresa Shultz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 16 years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, depression, grief, trauma, relationship strain, and related concerns. Theresa draws on her own long recovery experience and years in practice to support practical change.
She keeps sessions straightforward and direct. Theresa listens without judgement and offers concrete steps rather than abstract theory. Work often focuses on identifying clear goals and small, achievable actions toward them. Sessions move at a pace the client finds manageable.
Theresa uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people choose actions that reflect their values, and motivational interviewing to strengthen personal reasons for change. Mindfulness practices appear when they fit the client’s needs.
Clients can expect a mix of short-term problem-solving and longer work on patterns that keep causing trouble. Theresa helps people who struggle with anger to notice triggers, test new responses, and practice different ways of communicating. She also works with sleep problems, self-esteem, parenting stress, career strain, ADHD, and process addictions.
Theresa is based in North Carolina and offers services in English. Her approach is practical and experience-informed, aimed at helping people reduce harmful patterns and build skills for handling difficult feelings and situations.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Theresa uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot thought and behavior patterns that fuel anger and other distress. CBT involves practical exercises and experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can help with anxiety, depression, and problematic reactions.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and choosing actions that matter despite difficult feelings. ACT can help when anger or avoidance keeps someone from living the life they want. Motivational interviewing appears in work on addiction and readiness to change; it helps people find their own reasons to try new behaviors.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Theresa collaborates with each person to decide what fits, adjusting methods as goals change. That means sessions can blend skills practice, values-based planning, and brief problem-solving as needed.
Session formats should be confirmed before booking since the original biography lists messaging, live chat, phone, and video as services offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Ask about the specific session options available when you schedule to match them to your daily routine.
