About Theresa

Theresa Ewing is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Illinois who supports people facing a wide range of concerns including grief, anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, and relationship or family challenges.

Background and approach

With a practice grounded in practical, skills-based therapies, she focuses on issues such as coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, self-esteem, intimacy-related concerns, parenting and career pressures, and broader mood and life-purpose questions.

Theresa brings four years of formal clinical experience and draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients identify unhelpful patterns, build coping strategies, and create achievable steps toward stated goals.

Her background includes work in healthcare settings where she supported caregivers, managed end-of-life and hospice conversations, and addressed the emotional impact of cancer, aging, and blended family dynamics. Theresa aims to collaborate with clients to develop clear plans and practical steps for change, emphasizing teamwork and compassion throughout the process.

She offers services in English and provides sessions through several remote formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Practical Therapy Approaches for Remote Care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to help clients notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, teaching concrete techniques to manage anxiety, depression, ADHD-related struggles, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can be especially useful for managing intense emotions, relationship tensions, and compassion fatigue.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Theresa works collaboratively with clients to determine what methods fit their needs and goals. Together they explore preferences, try techniques, and adjust the plan so that therapy feels useful and practical for daily life.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen, and Theresa provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care while fitting treatment into work, caregiving, or other routines, and they support ongoing skill practice between sessions.
