About Teresa
Teresa Cole is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California with 16 years of experience. She focuses on trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, relationships, parenting concerns, and life transitions. Teresa draws on practical methods to help people manage stress and regain balance in daily life.
Teresa emphasizes approaches that help clients notice what matters and take small, meaningful steps. She often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavior techniques to reduce painful thoughts and increase valued action.
Background and approach
She also works with attachment-related issues to improve closeness and communication in relationships. Her work is straightforward and goal-oriented. Sessions include skill-building, concrete coping strategies, and information about how problems develop and change.
People can expect to practice new ways of responding between sessions so progress continues outside of appointments. Teresa has supported people dealing with addictions, career transitions, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and the impacts of abuse and trauma. She also addresses concerns such as body image, codependency, and difficulties with intimacy and commitment.
Her experience includes helping those affected by blended family dynamics and first responder stress. Teresa offers several session formats to fit different needs, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and she works in English for clients located in California.

Online support
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by focusing on what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep problems going; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of relating and communication to improve closeness and reduce conflict in relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Teresa will check in about your needs, goals, and preferences and adjust methods as you go. Sessions are collaborative - clients and therapist set goals, try strategies, and review what helps most over time.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face when convenient, phone sessions can be quicker check-ins or easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit brief check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue care during life changes.
