About Theresa
Theresa Farello is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who focuses on helping people through stressful and confusing times. She aims to be approachable and calm in sessions, and she encourages small steps toward change. Parents, adults, and young people who are feeling overwhelmed often find her practical style easy to follow.
Theresa draws on five years of clinical experience plus prior roles as a school counselor, a director of social services, and an adjunct professor. That background informs how she listens and organizes care. Sessions tend to be straightforward, with an emphasis on what the person wants to change and realistic next steps.
Her approach blends client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and emotionally-focused ideas. That mix supports people working through anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship pain, parenting struggles, and addiction concerns. Theresa also pays attention to issues connected to adoption and foster care when relevant to a client's story.
Theresa often helps clients who are navigating life changes such as breakups, career shifts, or grief. She also works with people managing ADHD, autism spectrum challenges, and compassion fatigue. Practical coping strategies and clearer routines are common topics in her work.
In sessions she aims to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where people can speak honestly. Theresa prefers to collaborate on goals and to build steps that fit everyday life. She invites anyone who is ready to say hello to start the process and see if the fit feels right.
How her approaches guide online work
Theresa uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in ways that are easy to explain. Client-centered therapy focuses on respectful listening, following the person's lead, and creating a space to talk through what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors to identify small, practical changes that can reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right approach usually happens together. Theresa will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. She adjusts techniques based on those conversations so the work fits the person’s needs and pace.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into their routines, like squeezing a session into a work break or avoiding travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep momentum between appointments and to try strategies in real-life settings with therapist support.
