About Theresa

Theresa Farello is an Ohio-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who offers supportive therapy for people navigating stress, anxiety, ADHD, relationship difficulties, depression, grief, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

She draws on five years of clinical experience and a background that includes school counseling, directing social services, and teaching as an adjunct professor to inform a practical, person-focused approach to care. Theresa emphasizes a warm, collaborative space where clients can explore trauma, recovery, motivation challenges, and identity-related concerns without pressure.

She uses client-centered listening alongside evidence-based techniques to help clients build coping skills, restore focus, and strengthen confidence. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including addictions, parenting, intimacy issues, eating-related problems, bipolar and personality disorder challenges, and compassion fatigue.

Theresa also works with those affected by adoption and foster care, autism spectrum considerations, hearing and visual impairment, and experiences of sexual assault and abuse. She approaches each person as an individual, aiming to tailor strategies that match their goals and stage of life while supporting steps toward healing and growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access



Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental space where clients lead the conversation and the therapist offers empathy and reflection to support self-directed growth. This approach is often used when people are working through life transitions, identity questions, or when they need a steady, validating presence while making changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical skills to change behaviors and manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, and difficulties with focus. Sessions that emphasize CBT tend to include structured exercises and strategies that clients can apply between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Theresa approaches that decision collaboratively. She will explore a client's goals, preferences, and concerns together with them to tailor techniques and determine whether client-centered listening, CBT, or emotionally focused work fits best for a given issue.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule care around work, family, or schooling. These options let clients maintain continuity of care and access therapeutic tools and feedback in formats that suit their daily life and communication style.
