About Teresa

Teresa Fowler is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Michigan who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, and relationship challenges. She also supports those coping with trauma, grief, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and issues related to chronic illness or disability. Teresa speaks English and American Sign Language and brings 18 years of experience to her practice.

Teresa approaches counseling with a whole-person view that considers body, mind, and spirit. She favors a person-centered, strength-based style and works collaboratively to set practical goals. Sessions focus on listening first, then building small, doable steps toward change.

Her work blends several methods to match each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thinking patterns that get in the way. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports making values-driven choices. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and existential ideas add tools for emotion regulation and meaning-making.

Teresa emphasizes clear, honest feedback and active listening. She aims to help clients use their existing strengths and resources. Parents and caregivers will find practical strategies for everyday stressors and communication problems.

People seeking help with ADHD, attachment or abandonment concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, substance issues, and blended family challenges may find the approach useful. Her goal is to increase resilience, improve day-to-day functioning, and support long-term well-being.

Step 3

Approaches that inform online work and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and working at the client’s pace to build trust and self-direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thought patterns and develops practical skills to shift behavior and mood, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Teresa will discuss goals, preferences, and how different methods fit what the person wants to change. Together they’ll adjust strategies over time so the work stays useful and realistic.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into busy schedules, shorter check-ins when time is tight, and options that reduce travel. Because session formats are not listed here, confirm which delivery options are offered before booking. Licensed professionals can use online work to practice the same tools they use in person, including goal-setting, skills training, and values-based exercises, so therapy can be tailored to daily life and responsibilities.
