Theresa Bishop , LPC

Theresa Bishop is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who trained in graduate school at Carlow University with a focus on professional counseling. She brings a decade of experience to her work and applies clinical training alongside lived understanding to support people navigating difficult life challenges.

Her experience includes working with individuals who struggle with addictions, trauma and loss, bipolar disorder, anxiety and depression, stress, acceptance difficulties, and anger. She approaches each person as an individual and draws on a range of therapeutic tools to address the presenting concerns while honoring the client’s own values and goals.

Theresa tailors her treatment to what will be most helpful for the person in front of her, using approaches such as motivational interviewing, solution-focused techniques, psychoeducation, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and broader psychotherapy. She emphasizes listening, maintaining objectivity, and working collaboratively to explore answers, take steps, and test changes. Theresa does not promise miracles, but she values the process and the client’s willingness to engage in the work. She welcomes those who are ready to begin that process and acknowledges the courage involved in seeking help.

Approaches and Access: Therapy Options Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and build willingness to act in ways that reflect those values. It focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful steps forward and can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and challenges that respond to skill-based strategies and structured problem solving.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for regulating intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress. It is a practical approach for people who struggle with strong emotional reactions, relationship conflicts, or patterns of impulsive behavior.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Theresa will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt techniques over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules and to access licensed professionals from different locations. This variety of formats supports continuity of care and provides multiple ways for a person to engage in the therapeutic work.
