About Teresa
Teresa Villbrandt is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings 17 years of clinical work to her practice. She focuses on helping people move through life changes and hard times. Teresa approaches each person with respect and practical support.
She aims to help people build clearer ways of caring for themselves and their relationships. Teresa frames difficulties as opportunities to learn and grow. She draws on Narrative Therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves and their lives.
Background and approach
She also uses trauma-focused approaches and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to address painful memories and reduce their hold on day-to-day life. Mindfulness practices are woven into sessions to help people notice patterns and respond differently to stress and anxiety. Teresa uses small, doable steps so coping feels achievable between appointments.
She pays attention to how mood, grief, or relationship strain affect daily routines and decision making. Teresa works with a wide range of concerns, including parenting stress, intimacy-related issues, eating and self-esteem struggles, bipolar mood patterns, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and grief. She helps people talk through relationship and family conflicts without assuming a one-size-fits-all solution.
Teresa aims to create a steady, practical space for change. Her style is down-to-earth and collaborative. She listens first, then helps people build tools that fit their life.
The focus is on realistic change that lasts beyond the therapy room.

Narrative and Trauma-Informed Care Online
Teresa uses Narrative Therapy to help people step back from the stories they repeat about themselves. This approach looks at how life events get framed and opens options for different, more helpful stories. She also brings trauma-focused work, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), to help reduce the intensity of painful memories and make daily life easier to manage.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Teresa treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help you identify which methods match your needs, goals, and comfort level. Together you decide what to try first and adjust the plan as things change.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care fit your schedule. Video is useful for deeper conversation and interactive exercises. Phone sessions or audio-only calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging works well for brief check-ins, quick tools, or when written reflection helps you process between appointments.
