About Teresa

Teresa Clark is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with three years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy challenges, addictions, and parenting and family concerns.

Background and approach

Teresa also works with a broad range of related issues, including body image, chronic illness, caregiver stress, ADHD, commitment and attachment difficulties, and coping with life changes. Her approach blends evidence-informed methods to match each person’s needs.

Teresa draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, acceptance and commitment ideas to build values-driven action, and client-centered principles to keep the client’s perspective central. She also incorporates DBT skills and EMDR where appropriate to address emotional regulation and trauma processing.

Teresa emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring conversations and treatment plans to an individual’s situation. Located in Florida, she accepts English-speaking and international clients and offers multiple session formats to fit different schedules.

Teresa frames the first steps as collaborative, helping clients set goals and choose strategies that align with their priorities.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Teresa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and stress. ACT emphasizes clarifying personal values and taking committed action even when difficult emotions arise, supporting coping with life changes, grief, and chronic challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be a collaborative decision. Teresa works with clients to assess needs, try techniques, and adjust methods over time so treatment fits the person’s goals and preferences rather than applying a fixed protocol.

Online therapy with Teresa is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care when routines are busy or travel is required, and they support regular practice of therapeutic skills between sessions with formats that suit varied lifestyles.
