About Teresa

Teresa Gonzalez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and related concerns.

Background and approach

She brings 12 years of experience working with a wide range of mood and life challenges, including parenting stress, grief, anger, bipolar concerns, and ADHD. Teresa emphasizes creating a nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore what matters most to them and begin taking practical steps toward change.

Her approach centers on collaborative work that prioritizes the client's values and goals, with attention to communication difficulties, feelings of emptiness or isolation, and issues around forgiveness, guilt, and shame. Teresa also supports clients navigating career pressures, pregnancy and childbirth transitions, social anxiety, and women's issues.

Bilingual in English and Spanish, she offers multiple session formats to fit different schedules and preferences, aiming to make therapy approachable and useful for people at different stages of life.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Care

Teresa incorporates evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional understanding. One common approach she uses involves skill-building strategies to manage stress and anxiety, teaching tools for coping, emotional regulation, and problem solving that can reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Another approach emphasizes mood-focused work for depression and bipolar-related concerns, helping clients track patterns, adjust routines, and develop strategies to stabilize mood and increase engagement in meaningful activities.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative; the therapist and client explore goals, preferences, and the issues driving sessions to determine which techniques will be most helpful. Teresa works alongside clients to adapt methods to individual needs and to revise the plan as progress unfolds so that therapy stays aligned with what the client hopes to achieve.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow clients to receive ongoing support without needing to travel, making it easier to fit sessions into work, family, or other commitments while maintaining a steady therapeutic process with a licensed professional.
