About Teresa
Teresa Dye is a Washington state Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 16 years of practice. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and people coping with life changes. Teresa also addresses concerns that often come up in midlife, including questions about life purpose.
She uses a client-centered approach that focuses on what matters to each person. Conversations begin with the client's priorities. Teresa listens for practical concerns and helps people sort through options for coping and decision making.
When trauma or painful past events are part of the problem, she applies trauma-focused methods to reduce the ways those memories affect daily life. That work is aimed at helping people feel less overwhelmed by memories, reactions, or stuck patterns that interfere with moving forward.
Teresa also draws on experience supporting people through caregiving stress, chronic illness, issues with attachment, and relationship communication problems. Sessions commonly cover manageable steps for dealing with guilt, forgiveness, control issues, or isolation.
Her style is straightforward and conversational. People can expect to talk about current problems, try practical strategies, and reassess what helps over time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Teresa uses client-centered therapy online to focus sessions on what the client finds most pressing. That approach centers on listening, reflecting, and helping people identify small, practical steps they can take between sessions. It suits people who want a conversational, goal-focused process.She also uses trauma-focused therapy when past events keep affecting daily life. Online trauma-focused work can include grounding techniques, processing memories at a pace the client can manage, and building skills to reduce intense reactions. This approach is aimed at reducing the ways traumatic memories interfere with present goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Teresa will discuss goals, needs, and preferences and adjust methods based on what helps. That collaborative planning helps shape session length, focus areas, and homework between sessions.
The therapist context does not specify exact session formats here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and avoid travel time. Some formats are well suited to brief check-ins or to people who prefer not to use video, while others work better for longer, deeper conversations. Discussing practical needs during the first appointment helps determine the best way to proceed.
