About Teresa
Teresa Fernandez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Wisconsin with three years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting struggles, and depression.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She treats clients as the experts on their own story and helps them use their existing strengths to face hard situations. Sessions are practical and aimed at making small changes that feel manageable.
Teresa uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. She blends these methods to address symptoms and day-to-day challenges rather than relying on a single technique. Expect clear tools and exercises to practice between meetings.
She works in both English and Spanish, and her practice is based in Wisconsin. The profile notes three years of experience in clinical settings, supporting people through life changes and emotional strain.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Teresa commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy into her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing changes through small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help notice feelings without getting swept up by them, which can reduce reactivity and isolation.Choosing the right approach is something she does together with each person. She discusses goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. From that conversation she suggests strategies and adjustments, and checks in regularly to see what is helpful and what needs changing.
Confirm the available online session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into their week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling. If video is difficult, some people prefer audio-only meetings for lower bandwidth or a shorter session rhythm. The focus is on making therapy fit everyday life and on using practical tools between sessions rather than promising a specific outcome.
