About Teresa

Teresa Kelly is a New York licensed clinician with more than 20 years of professional experience supporting adults through challenging life moments. As an LCSW-R - a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with the authorization to practice independently in New York - she works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, relationship concerns, self-esteem struggles, and major life transitions. Her practice also addresses related areas such as abandonment, aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, domestic violence, substance and process addictions, intellectual disability, and workplace difficulties.

Teresa approaches each person as the expert of their own story, helping them identify and build on existing strengths while developing practical skills to manage distress. She emphasizes collaboration and respect, encouraging clients to take the steps they feel ready for while offering steady guidance through difficult moments. Teresa understands that beginning therapy can take courage and she celebrates the decision to reach out as an important step toward change.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Teresa integrates evidence-based, skills-focused techniques that help people learn practical coping tools for stress, anxiety, and everyday challenges. These approaches emphasize teaching concrete strategies readers can use between sessions to manage symptoms and improve functioning. She also uses trauma-informed methods to support those coping with trauma, abuse, and complicated grief - focusing on safety, pacing, and processing difficult experiences in ways that respect each person’s readiness. Additionally, her strengths-based orientation highlights personal resources and resilience to support recovery and growth.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Teresa partners with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques over time so care aligns with what works best for each individual. This collaborative stance helps clients feel more engaged and supported in shaping their treatment.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to access consistent support from anywhere in New York. These formats allow for flexible scheduling, continuity of care during transitions, and multiple ways to communicate so clients can choose what feels most comfortable and useful for them.
