About Theresa

Theresa Bishop is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania who combines evidence-based techniques with a collaborative, person-centered stance.

Background and approach

With ten years of clinical experience, she draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and client-centered methods to tailor care to each person's needs.

She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and family difficulties, ADHD, and issues around self-esteem and life transitions. Theresa emphasizes practical skills and thoughtful exploration rather than quick fixes, pairing structured interventions with empathic listening.

Her practice includes support for process addictions, panic and mood disorders, caregiver stress, multicultural concerns, and coping after disasters. She encourages clients to identify meaningful goals and to try small, actionable steps that build resilience and improve day-to-day functioning.

Theresa frames therapy as a joint effort in which curiosity, consistency, and realistic expectations guide progress.

Evidence-Based Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Theresa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thinking and build practical coping strategies; CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying values, increasing psychological flexibility, and practicing acceptance alongside committed action to manage difficult thoughts and feelings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and happens collaboratively. Theresa aims to learn about each person's priorities and preferences, then suggests strategies and techniques that fit those goals while checking in and adjusting as needed so the work remains relevant and useful.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more accessible and flexible for different schedules and needs. These formats allow clients to engage in skill-building, coaching, and therapy from home or other convenient locations while preserving the interactive elements of therapy such as discussion, exercises, and feedback.
