About Teresa

Teresa Bubnis is an Ohio-licensed LPCC who brings 25 years of clinical experience to her work with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She uses practical, goal-oriented techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and develop coping skills, and she adapts each plan to the person in front of her. Teresa emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while helping clients build confidence and motivation.

Her practice integrates approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with motivational and solution-focused strategies to keep sessions concrete and action-oriented. Teresa prioritizes collaborative dialogue so that treatment goals reflect each client’s values and circumstances.

She encourages those who are taking the step toward therapy and aims to create a space for steady progress and realistic problem solving.

Practical Approaches for Online Progress

Teresa draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to guide online work in a concrete, collaborative way. CBT focuses on spotting and adjusting thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to distress, which can help with anxiety, depression, and reactions to life changes. Motivational Interviewing emphasizes exploring personal goals and strengthening intrinsic motivation, often useful for building confidence and making changes when ambivalence is present.

Choosing an approach is a joint process. Teresa works with clients to identify which methods align with their goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities, and she adjusts strategies as progress unfolds. That collaborative stance helps ensure sessions remain relevant and focused on measurable steps forward.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work and family commitments and to maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult. The range of formats allows licensed professionals to use the approaches above in ways that suit each client’s needs and pace.
