Theresa Yucel, LPC

Theresa Yucel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She approaches therapy as a partnership and aims to build a trusting, nonjudgmental space where clients can revive and move forward.

She earned a Master of Arts in Counseling from Northwestern University and has worked full time in mental health since 2015. Her background includes several years in an inpatient psychiatric hospital setting, where she supported people during crisis points. She later moved into outpatient work with an emphasis on adult and geriatric group therapy.

Theresa uses practical methods to address depression, anxiety, self-care, and boundary setting. She draws on Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral techniques to help people break unhelpful patterns and try small, doable changes. Psychodynamic ideas are also part of her work when exploring how past relationships affect current feelings.

Clients can expect clear, focused conversations that aim to make daily life easier. Theresa pays attention to grief, adjustment challenges, and the stress that comes with life changes. She also helps with relationship concerns, parenting strain, and issues around identity and self-worth.

Her aim is straightforward: listen, understand, and help create steps that fit each person’s life. The emphasis is on practical progress rather than labels, and therapy is shaped around the goals the client brings.

How Theresa’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a respectful relationship. The therapist follows the client’s pace, reflecting concerns back and helping clarify what matters most. This approach is useful for people feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or stuck.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It often includes practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage panic, and build better coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Theresa works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She expects that choices may shift as the work progresses and will check in to adjust the plan.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can help fit care into busy lives by reducing travel time, allowing sessions during work breaks, or offering shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue work while handling grief, stress, or adjustment issues without reorganizing their whole schedule.
