About Teresa

Teresa Adams is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who blends structured therapeutic techniques with relationship-focused skills to address stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related concerns.

Background and approach

With 16 years of clinical experience, she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the Gottman Method to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts, improve communication patterns, and build practical strategies for everyday life. Her background includes specialized work around relationship and family dynamics, intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem, and adapting to life changes.

Teresa’s practice also encompasses a wide range of related areas including adoption and foster care, blended family challenges, fertility and fatherhood issues, grief and end-of-life concerns, and body image or life purpose exploration.

Based in Mississippi, she offers a compassionate, nonjudgmental approach and aims to create a collaborative environment where clients can explore difficult questions and develop tools for healthier connections and more manageable daily functioning. Teresa communicates in English and accepts international clients for remote sessions.

Integrating Evidence-Based Methods with Remote Care

Teresa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients spot and reframe patterns of thought that contribute to anxiety, depression, stress, and distractibility; CBT focuses on concrete skill-building and practical strategies that can be practiced between sessions. She also applies the Gottman Method for clients concerned about relationship or intimacy difficulties, emphasizing communication skills, conflict management, and rebuilding trust through structured interventions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process in therapy. Teresa works with clients to assess their goals, preferences, and presenting concerns, then tailors interventions so the methods fit the person rather than forcing a single model. This collaborative stance helps clarify what will be most useful and allows adjustments over time as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options allow ongoing skill practice, check-ins between meetings, and easier access for those who live at a distance from Mississippi or who prefer remote appointments.
