About Teresa

Teresa Longo is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with two decades of clinical experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family conflicts, grief, trauma, and issues related to self-esteem and confidence.

Background and approach

She also works with concerns such as anger, addictions, intimacy and sexual issues, parenting and career challenges, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and ADHD, alongside a range of personality and developmental concerns. Teresa approaches each person with respect and a nonjudgmental stance, helping clients explore thoughts and emotions to find practical ways forward.

Her practice emphasizes collaboration and hope, encouraging clients to take courageous steps toward greater well-being. Teresa blends client-centered listening with structured techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and reflective elements of existential therapy to tailor support to each individual’s needs.

She frames therapy as a process of understanding patterns, building coping skills, and reclaiming agency after trauma or life transitions. Teresa invites prospective clients to reach out and consider whether her style feels like the right fit for their goals.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Teresa draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy as guiding frameworks. Client-centered therapy emphasizes active listening and an accepting therapeutic relationship, supporting people to explore feelings and priorities at their own pace; it is often helpful for clients seeking a warm, empathetic space to process difficult emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and building practical coping skills, which can be useful for managing anxiety, stress, mood concerns, and behavioral challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Teresa will work with each person to assess goals, preferences, and life circumstances and then integrate techniques that fit their needs. Over time she adjusts the balance of reflective, meaning-focused work and skills-based interventions based on client progress and feedback.

Online therapy with Teresa is offered through multiple formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - to make scheduling and access more flexible. These options allow clients to engage in therapy from home or other convenient locations, maintain continuity during busy periods, and use the communication style that best supports their progress.
