About Theresa

Theresa Williams is a licensed social worker (LMSW) based in Michigan with 24 years of clinical experience helping people navigate complex emotional and life challenges.

Background and approach

She has worked extensively with concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief and loss, depression, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, trauma and abuse, relationship and family issues, eating concerns, parenting stresses, anger, career transitions, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. Her background blends practical skills with a strengths-based view that honors each person as the expert of their own story.

Theresa draws on a flexible, evidence-informed toolkit to tailor care to individual needs, incorporating approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused interventions. She emphasizes collaboration and practical strategies, helping clients set clear goals and build coping skills that fit daily life.

Prospective clients can expect a supportive, respectful partner in their process who aims to help them move toward greater self-love, life purpose, and mood stability while honoring their personal values and pace.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Theresa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to guide her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with life changes. DBT emphasizes skills such as emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help people manage intense emotions and improve relationships.

She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support clients who are weighing change or seeking greater motivation; this approach uses respectful conversation to clarify values and build readiness. Choosing the right approach is collaborative - Theresa works with each client to determine which combination of strategies best aligns with their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring to therapy.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and differing comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from Michigan and beyond, support continuity of care when life is hectic, and allow clients to use the communication style that works best for them.
