About Theresa

Theresa Yucel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with licenses in Texas and Louisiana and about 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults around common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, parenting strain, and anger. Sessions are held in English and her approach is practical and direct.

Theresa completed a Master of Arts in Counseling from Northwestern University. Early in her career she worked three years in an inpatient psychiatric hospital focused on crisis management. That work included supporting people through acute moments and coordinating short-term care needs.

After inpatient work she moved into outpatient settings and led adult and geriatric group therapy. She has spent much of her career helping people handle adjustment problems, grief and loss, and life transitions. She also addresses issues like self-esteem, setting boundaries, and coping with chronic stress.

Her clinical approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. In sessions she uses straightforward conversation, practical tools, and short-term strategies when those fit a person's goals.

Theresa describes therapy as a partnership. She aims to build trust quickly and to work on concrete steps people can use between sessions. People looking to manage anger, reduce recurring frustration, or handle relationship tension will find a practitioner experienced with those concerns.

For next steps she asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online booking flow. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and remote sessions

Theresa uses a mix of approaches to match practical needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people set their own goals; it is useful for building trust and sorting priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and gives concrete tools to change patterns like recurring anger or anxiety. Psychodynamic work looks at longer-standing patterns and past relationships to understand why certain reactions recur. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Theresa will discuss what feels most useful, try approaches in session, and adjust based on progress and preferences. The aim is to find methods that feel manageable and relevant to daily life. Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling. Many people find remote sessions make it simpler to keep regular appointments and practice tools between meetings.
