About Theresa
Theresa Yu is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor with nine years of clinical experience. She offers a warm, nonjudgmental space and shapes therapy around each person’s needs. Theresa speaks English and Mandarin and works with a wide range of concerns from anxiety and trauma to parenting strain and relationship problems.
She often blends evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and take small steps that matter.
Background and approach
Theresa also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches to focus on connection, trust, and the client's own goals. EMDR is one of the therapies she lists when addressing traumatic memories. Theresa has worked in schools, child protective services, and behavioral health programs.
That background informs how she supports people coping with complex trauma, adoption and foster care issues, autism and developmental differences, and disruptive behaviors. She has experience helping adults with mood concerns, addiction, grief, and life transitions. In sessions she aims to teach practical skills, offer clear feedback, and guide people toward immediate changes they can use.
Theresa also names coaching and compassion fatigue among her focus areas, reflecting work with caregivers and helpers who feel drained. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions through the site.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It often focuses on small, doable steps when anxiety, depression, or life changes make decision-making hard.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current trust and intimacy. This approach can help with parenting concerns, relationship conflicts, and healing from neglect or abandonment experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Theresa works collaboratively to match methods to each person’s goals and preferences, and she will adjust tools as progress is made. Clients help set goals and choose which strategies feel most useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skills practice, phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is low, chat or text can support brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.
