Thérèse Fletcher , LCSW

Thérèse Fletcher has spent her career committed to supporting people through difficult life moments and complex challenges. She has extensive experience working with highly vulnerable communities in urban settings and assists clients with a wide range of concerns, including relationship struggles, life transitions, grief and loss, emotional stress, chronic illness, anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction. Her work balances short-term, solution-focused interventions with longer-term emotional processing to match each person’s needs.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) Thérèse is an independently licensed clinician with 13 years of experience in medical and social services. She has also supervised and trained other social workers, bringing practical clinical and leadership experience to her practice. Thérèse uses a strength-based, client-centered stance that aims to uplift confidence and empower individuals to set and reach meaningful goals.

She approaches therapy as a collaborative process, meeting clients where they are and helping them build specific methods and perspectives to resolve current problems and create a more fulfilling life going forward. Her practice addresses everyday concerns such as self-esteem, parenting, work and education challenges, and sleep difficulties, as well as deeper issues tied to family of origin, caregiving and end-of-life concerns, and life purpose. Thérèse emphasizes respect, accountability, and practical tools so clients can make sustainable changes at their own pace.

She is grateful to the platform for helping expand access to counseling resources and supports individuals who are ready to take steps toward change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Thérèse often draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on creating an empathetic, nonjudgmental space where the client’s experience guides the work. This approach helps with building self-esteem, improving relationships, and strengthening personal insight. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that identifies and reshapes unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and address stress-related problems. In addition, she incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple present-moment awareness and stress reduction techniques that can support coping with grief, trauma reactions, and chronic stress.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Thérèse works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and the challenges they face, and she adapts methods over time so the therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy with Thérèse offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations while receiving consistent therapeutic support.
