About Teresa
Teresa Fowler is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 18 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, and trauma. Teresa speaks English and American Sign Language and aims to make starting therapy straightforward and approachable.
Her counseling style is warm and person-centered. She listens closely and builds a working relationship based on respect and honest feedback. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings and on using each person’s strengths to manage day-to-day needs.
Background and approach
Teresa blends several evidence-based approaches to match what each person needs. She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, cognitive behavioral techniques to reshape unhelpful thoughts and habits, and some dialectical skills to manage strong emotions. The emphasis is on small, manageable changes that lead to better functioning at home, work, and in relationships.
People who come to Teresa often want focused tools as well as a steady, compassionate presence. She works with concerns that overlap - for example ADHD with anxiety, or chronic pain with mood changes - and helps people prioritize what to address first. Her background includes supporting those facing caregiving stress, chronic illness, substance issues, and attachment or abandonment worries.
Teresa aims to collaborate on goals and action plans that fit each person’s life. She frames therapy as a partnership where progress is made through clear steps, regular check-ins, and adjustments when needed. The result is practical support meant to increase resilience and daily functioning.
How therapy approaches shape online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most and taking value-based steps. It helps people with anxiety, low mood, and the frustration that can come with ADHD by shifting attention toward meaningful action rather than struggling with unwanted thoughts.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It offers practical exercises to change routines and thinking patterns that feed anxiety, depression, or unhelpful habits. This approach is often used to create small experiments people can try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Teresa collaborates with each person to choose and adapt methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans based on what helps most.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules. Video lets you read facial cues and practice skills together. Phone sessions can be quicker check-ins or work around bandwidth limits. Live chat or text messaging supports shorter touchpoints, homework planning, or ongoing check-ins between longer appointments. These options add flexibility so therapy can fit into work, caregiving, or medical schedules.
