About Teresa

Teresa Villbrandt is a licensed professional counselor with 17 years of experience helping people through life changes and hard moments. She approaches therapy as a chance to work toward an everyday life that feels more balanced and manageable. Teresa aims to turn barriers into steps for growth so people can build healthier ways of coping and relating.

Her style is practical and collaborative. Sessions focus on clear goals, small skills to try between meetings, and steady progress over time.

Background and approach

Teresa draws on trauma-focused tools and narrative work to help people make sense of painful events and rewrite the stories that hold them back. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, to address distress tied to traumatic memories and strong emotional reactions.

Mindfulness practices are woven into sessions to help with stress, anxiety, and staying grounded when life feels overwhelming. Teresa works with a broad range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, eating concerns, anger, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people navigating identity and LGBT-related matters.

People who prefer direct, compassionate guidance tend to fit well with her approach. Teresa encourages experimentation with new coping strategies and pays attention to what actually helps in daily life. She invites clients to set the pace and shape the goals they want to reach.

Online support

Using trauma-focused tools and online care

Teresa uses EMDR to help reduce the intensity of traumatic memories by pairing focused attention with guided processing. EMDR can be useful for people who have strong emotional reactions tied to past events and who want an approach that works with memory and body-based responses.

She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple, practical ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations. Mindfulness helps with stress, anxiety, and staying present during difficult moments. Narrative Therapy is used to examine the stories people tell about themselves and to try out new, more helpful ways of understanding past experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Teresa collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and pace. She adjusts techniques over time and combines approaches when that seems helpful.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing of worksheets, phone sessions can fit into busy days or use less bandwidth, and chat or text options provide quick check-ins or a way to arrange brief support between longer sessions. These formats help people keep therapy consistent while fitting it into real life.
