About Tressa
Tressa Henson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 17 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She also helps with relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting matters, career questions, and coaching-style support.
Tressa draws on practical, evidence-informed approaches in sessions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. Mindfulness techniques are used to help people notice strong feelings without getting swept away by them. Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to make changes but feel stuck.
Her style is straightforward and focused on skills people can use between sessions. She talks through specific situations, helps set realistic goals, and practices strategies that reduce reactivity. Sessions often include short exercises and homework to build new habits over time.
People seeking help for anger learn ways to recognize triggers, pause before reacting, and choose different responses. For work or parenting stress she helps identify small practical steps that reduce pressure day to day. When grief, trauma, or major life change are involved, she works at a pace the client prefers while addressing immediate coping needs.
Tressa’s background covers a broad range of concerns including chronic illness, financial stress, postpartum depression, and multicultural issues. She serves clients in Michigan and offers services in English. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches work online
Tressa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice the thoughts and routines that keep anger alive, then practice different responses. CBT is useful for work stress, recurring arguments, and patterns that lead to shouting or shutting down.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices. These skills help lower immediate reactivity and make it easier to pause before responding in heated moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will review goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That collaborative process aims to match practical tools to the client’s needs and day-to-day life.
