Teresa Robertson , LMHC, LCPC

Teresa Robertson is a licensed counselor practicing in Florida with nearly two decades of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, depression, and life transitions. She holds both LMHC and LCPC credentials - LMHC stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor and LCPC stands for Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - and has maintained a private practice since 2014, first in Illinois and now in Florida.

Before moving into private practice, she spent more than 18 years working in community mental health and social service settings, delivering counseling to a wide range of clients and life situations. She earned a master’s degree in professional counseling from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology in 1999 and later completed graduate-level coursework in human sexuality, grief and loss, and trauma counseling to broaden her clinical knowledge.

Her training includes EMDR, Clinical Trauma Professional certification, Psychological First Aid, and FEMA community preparedness, all of which contribute to a trauma-informed perspective. Teresa integrates multiple therapeutic modalities - including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness techniques, and psychodynamic ideas - and adapts interventions to each person’s cultural and social context. She focuses on collaborative care that encourages client input and aims to build insight, self-acceptance, and practical skills to manage mood disorders, ADHD, parenting and family concerns, blended family dynamics, communication problems, and other stress-related issues.

Teresa emphasizes integrity and trust in her practice and works to tailor treatment to an individual’s needs, preferences, and goals while helping people develop tools to manage everyday challenges and pursue greater fulfillment.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Teresa Robertson draws from several established therapeutic approaches to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic relationship in which the therapist follows the client's lead and helps them explore personal values, identity, and goals - a helpful approach for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, panic, and mood symptoms. It is structured and goal-oriented, offering tools that clients can apply between sessions.

EMDR is an approach Teresa has trained in that is often used for processing traumatic memories and reducing their emotional intensity. EMDR combines focused attention on distressing memories with guided bilateral stimulation to support adaptive processing for trauma-related reactions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Teresa will work with each person to evaluate symptoms, preferences, and goals and will blend techniques from different models to create a plan that fits the client’s circumstances.

Online therapy offers flexibility to meet those needs through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and access licensed professionals from different locations while working toward meaningful progress.
