About Teresa

Teresa Longo is a New York-licensed mental health counselor with two decades of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship and family challenges.

Background and approach

She supports clients facing issues like low self-esteem, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, and intimacy-related concerns, and also attends to less common but important areas such as attachment difficulties, dissociation, and caregiver stress. Teresa combines practical interventions with empathetic listening to address both immediate symptoms and the life patterns that contribute to ongoing distress.

Her style emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore thoughts and feelings openly. Teresa draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with client-centered and existential approaches to tailor work to each person’s situation, helping clients build coping skills, clarify values, and make meaningful changes.

She encourages hopeful, gradual progress and partners with clients to create realistic goals for greater confidence, healthier relationships, and improved daily functioning.

Approaches that guide online therapy

Teresa integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered work into her online practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete tools for challenges like anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, helping people feel heard while they explore values, identity, and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Teresa works with clients to clarify goals, discuss preferences, and adapt techniques so that therapy reflects each person's needs and pace rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and flexibility. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for discussing personal issues and practicing new skills.
