About Teresa

Teresa Clark is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with three years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, and parenting challenges.

She uses brief, practical conversations to identify what feels most urgent. Teresa draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and EMDR to address painful memories, persistent negative thoughts, and avoidance. Sessions focus on specific skills and clearer next steps rather than long, abstract explanations.

Teresa has experience supporting military service members and veterans and brings that background into sessions when it is relevant. She also works with people dealing with chronic illness, caregiving strain, aging concerns, ADHD, and issues around attachment and abandonment.

Her style is direct and respectful. Teresa works with clients to set realistic goals, track progress, and adjust methods when needed. Conversations often include coping strategies for sleep, eating, anger, and workplace or career stress.

Practical matters such as scheduling, follow-up, and how therapy fits into daily life are discussed early. People who choose to work with her typically complete a short questionnaire first and then schedule an initial session to see if the approach is a good fit.

BHow sessions work

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and emotions without getting stuck in them. It helps when avoidance or worry keeps someone from living according to their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new, more helpful behaviors through small experiments. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep, and eating concerns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) works with memories and strong emotional reactions to reduce their intensity and the distress they cause.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Teresa will discuss which methods seem most relevant based on a person’s goals, symptoms, and preferences. She adjusts the plan over time if something isn’t working or if priorities change.

Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and can allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also reduce travel time and let sessions happen from a quieter location when that helps concentration. The practical aim is to make therapy fit daily life while working toward agreed goals.
