Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Licensed Counseling or Therapy care with Theresa LCDC:
- What's the difference between a Counselor, a Psychologist, and a Psychiatrist?
- Therapists, like me, are skilled in talk therapy and have a master's degree. Psychologists have doctorates and specialize in therapy and testing. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can prescribe medication. For most people, a therapist is an excellent first step.
- What actually happens in a therapy session?
- A typical session with Theresa is a safe and confidential conversation where you'll discuss your thoughts, feelings, and challenges. She will listen without judgment, offer new perspectives, and help you develop coping skills and strategies to reach your goals. It's a collaborative process focused on your needs and progress.
- Do I have to have a major 'problem' to go to counseling?
- No. Theresa sees clients for a wide range of reasons, including personal growth, relationship improvement, stress management, and navigating life transitions. Therapy is a proactive step toward mental wellness, not just for crises.
- How is family therapy different from individual therapy?
- Theresa's family therapy focuses on the interactions and dynamics within the family system, rather than just one person's thoughts and feelings. The goal is to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and enhance the overall functioning of the family unit. Individual therapy, in contrast, primarily focuses on the individual's personal issues.
- What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?
- CBT is a common and effective type of talk therapy where Theresa helps clients identify, challenge, and change negative thought patterns and behaviors. It's a hands-on approach, teaching practical skills to better manage issues like anxiety, stress, and depression.
- My partner and I are struggling with communication. Is this something you can help with?
- Yes, couples counseling is a core service at my practice. Couples counseling provides a safe space to address communication challenges, and Theresa can help teach effective communication skills, navigate conflicts, and work toward rebuilding connection and understanding.
- I'm dealing with a recent loss. Can counseling help with grief?
- Yes. Grief is a natural process, but sometimes it can be overwhelming. Theresa provides a compassionate space to process the complex emotions of loss, learn healthy coping mechanisms, and navigate the journey of grieving at your own pace.
- My work life is incredibly stressful. Is that a valid reason to seek counseling?
- Yes, significant work-related stress is a very common reason to seek counseling. Theresa can help you develop strategies for managing stress, setting healthy boundaries, improving work-life balance, and preventing burnout before it becomes a problem.
