About Teresa
Teresa Freeman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 13 years of professional experience. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. Teresa uses clearly explained methods to help people notice what matters and manage what gets in the way.
Teresa focuses on practical conversation and steady skills practice rather than abstract theory. Sessions are a place to talk through difficult feelings and get concrete steps for day-to-day life. She pays attention to patterns that come from attachment and relationship history and how those patterns affect current stress and addiction struggles.
Her approach blends acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive-behavioral tools and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. She also draws on client-centered and attachment-based ways of working to keep the focus on each person’s experience. These methods are used to address things like control issues, codependency, communication problems, and the emotional fallout of divorce or separation.
Teresa also works with people facing medical stressors such as cancer, chronic pain, illness, and caregiver strain. She helps people sort priorities, manage strong emotions, and build habits that make daily life more manageable. Evening sessions are offered at this time, so scheduling often centers on later hours.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire then schedule a first session. The therapist asks about current concerns, practical goals, and what the client hopes to get from therapy.
How Teresa applies evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. This approach is often used for anxiety, stress, and feelings of emptiness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing them with small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings run high.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Teresa will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit best based on their goals, daily life, and what has or hasn’t worked before. That collaborative decision-making guides session plans and homework between meetings.
