About Teresa
Teresa Longo is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. She creates an open atmosphere where clients can share thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. Teresa encourages small, practical steps toward greater confidence and clearer daily routines.
Her style is direct and compassionate. She listens for what matters most to each person and then works collaboratively to set realistic goals.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on skills that can be used between meetings, such as coping strategies, communication practice, and ways to manage overwhelming emotions. Teresa draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns that keep problems going and to build new habits.
She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to stay grounded in each person's experience, and elements of Existential Therapy to discuss meaning, values, and life direction. These approaches are mixed to match individual needs rather than applied in a fixed sequence. She has particular experience supporting people facing relationship strain, grief, trauma, addiction concerns, parenting stress, and work-related burnout.
Teresa also helps clients who want coaching-style support for career or life transitions. Her aim is to help people regain agency and move toward goals they choose. Teresa speaks English and offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own experience, with the therapist offering empathy and nonjudgmental attention to help people explore feelings and values. This approach helps when someone needs a listening space to sort through hard decisions or emotional pain.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and daily skills like planning and organization.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Teresa will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and life demands. That might mean more skills practice one week and deeper meaning-focused conversation another week.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people use visual cues for richer conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins or when writing out thoughts feels clearer. These options support continuity of care and flexible scheduling, so people can get help when it fits their routine.
