About Therese
Therese Muir is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 30 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, trauma and substance use concerns. She also supports those dealing with grief, bipolar disorder, panic attacks, and post-traumatic stress.
Therese approaches work from a client-centered standpoint. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings, and on skills that reduce reactivity and improve everyday coping.
Her methods include cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and test alternatives. Dialectical behavior techniques are used to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are also part of the mix to support clearer goals and steady progress.
Therese has worked across settings during her career and brings long experience with trauma, addiction, and mood conditions. She aims to help people notice patterns that fuel anger and frustration and to try manageable replacements. The emphasis is on small, usable changes rather than dramatic promises.
To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location. International clients are not currently accepted.
Online sessions that use CBT, DBT, and client-centered work
Therese uses client-centered therapy to listen for each person's priorities and strengths. This approach means sessions begin with the client's goals and adjust as those goals change. It helps people feel understood and involved in the plan for change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot thought patterns that increase anger or anxiety. CBT offers simple experiments and behavior changes to test new ways of reacting. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills focus on emotional regulation and distress tolerance, useful when strong feelings lead to outbursts or avoidance.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Therese will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She reviews what helps, adjusts techniques, and encourages homework that fits a client's day-to-day life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking.

Ask about available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire to find what fits your schedule and preferences.
