About Tressa
Tressa Henson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who supports people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship and family challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, career transitions, and broader life changes.
Background and approach
She brings 17 years of clinical experience and combines counseling and coaching skills to help clients identify practical steps toward greater emotional balance and clearer priorities. Her approach emphasizes evidence-informed strategies and a respectful, collaborative stance that honors each person’s goals.
Henson often uses cognitive behavioral techniques alongside mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help clients shift unhelpful patterns and build coping skills. She also draws on narrative and solution-focused ideas to explore meaning, strengthen resilience, and set achievable short-term objectives.
With a holistic presence and an emphasis on empathy and nonjudgmental support, she aims to empower clients to make sustainable changes and pursue improved wellbeing.
Approachable therapeutic methods for online care
Many clients benefit from cognitive behavioral work that focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; CBT techniques can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and problem-solving around life and work challenges. Mindfulness therapy is also used to help people develop present-moment awareness and coping skills that reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation. Motivational interviewing offers a collaborative, goal-oriented conversation style that can help clarify values and increase readiness for change when facing difficult decisions or life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative exploration helps tailor sessions so they focus on practical steps and measurable progress while respecting individual pace and priorities.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to access care from different locations. These options allow clients to choose the way of communicating that best suits their lifestyle while still working with a licensed professional to address their concerns.
