About Theresa
Theresa Kibbe is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 21 years of practice. She works with adults who are struggling with addictions, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, depression, bipolar symptoms, anxiety, stress, grief, anger, self-esteem, and major life changes. Theresa also supports people dealing with family-of-origin issues, codependency, communication and control problems, and caregiver strain.
Her style is straightforward and practical. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and helps them build on existing strengths. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps that move daily life forward. Theresa uses talk and structured techniques rather than vague affirmations.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Trauma-focused methods and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing are used when past hurts interfere with current functioning. Somatic therapy is integrated when physical sensations and body responses are part of the problem.
Typical sessions involve working through concrete problems like addiction relapse triggers, eating-related patterns, or navigating a separation. Theresa helps clients practice new ways of reacting and communicating, then reviews what works between meetings. The approach emphasizes learning skills that can be applied outside sessions.
Theresa practices in South Carolina and offers services in English. If you are unsure about session options, confirm the current formats before booking. To get started, follow the site process for matching and scheduling a first appointment.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Theresa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change thought and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and problematic habits. CBT sessions typically focus on skills, homework, and practical steps to change daily routines and reactions.She also integrates trauma-focused therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for people whose past events continue to affect emotions and behavior. These approaches work on processing traumatic memories and reducing their hold on current mood and responses.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Theresa will discuss your history, current needs, and preferences, and together you will decide which methods to try first. That plan can shift as you notice what helps and what does not.
The biography does not list specific online or in-person formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals commonly adapt CBT exercises, trauma processing, and somatic techniques to an online setting so skills can be practiced between meetings.
