About Teresa

Teresa Syversen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing on the Oregon Coast with two decades of experience in behavioral health and addictions.

Background and approach

She has supported people navigating depression, anxiety, bipolar challenges, substance use concerns, relationship strain, parenting difficulties, grief, anger, and ADHD, and she is attuned to the needs of those who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. Her style is described as warm and interactive, grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

Teresa blends client-centered principles with cognitive-behavioral and trauma-informed techniques, adapting conversations and treatment plans to each person’s situation. Motivational and dialectical methods also inform her work when appropriate.

Teresa emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, aiming to help clients identify practical tools and shifts that improve day-to-day functioning and overall wellbeing. She invites people who are ready to pursue change to begin a process built around their individual goals and life context.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access

Teresa draws on cognitive-behavioral and trauma-focused methods to guide online work. Cognitive-behavioral therapy focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that maintain distress and teaching practical skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and coping with life transitions. Trauma-focused therapy attends to the effects of past physical or emotional harm and uses structured approaches to reduce symptoms and improve functioning over time.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore goals, preferences, and how different methods might fit their situation, adjusting techniques as needs evolve rather than committing to a single formula up front.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow people to engage from home or work, fit therapy into busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care during relocations or life changes, while still benefiting from licensed professional support.
