About Theresa

Theresa Huggins is a licensed professional counselor with 23 years of clinical experience in Alabama. She centers her practice on helping people work through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

Theresa combines practical, evidence-based methods with a compassionate stance to support clients as they sort through difficult emotions and everyday struggles. Her style emphasizes collaboration and respect, guiding clients to increase self-understanding and build durable coping skills.

Theresa draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, emotionally focused work, existential reflection, and a client-centered orientation to tailor care to each person’s needs. She aims to help clients strengthen resilience, clarify values, and create actionable strategies for healthier patterns of thinking and relating.

Theresa accepts international clients and offers a range of online session formats to fit different schedules and preferences. Her practice uses a subscription-based model that can be canceled at any time, and she helps clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to availability.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Theresa integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. ACT emphasizes clarifying personal values and learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful action, which helps when coping with life transitions and building resilience.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work, and Theresa treats that choice as a collaborative process. She listens to each client's goals and preferences, explains different methods, and tailors a plan that reflects what the person hopes to achieve and how they prefer to engage in therapy.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and needs. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are impractical, and they allow people to access licensed professionals from different locations while arranging appointments that fit their routines.
