About Thérèse
Thérèse Fletcher is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois with 13 years of experience in medical and social services. She works with people facing relationship strain, grief, life transitions, anxiety, depression, stress, and addictions. She also addresses practical concerns such as sleep problems, parenting strain, career stress, and money-related worries.
Her background includes long work in urban settings with highly vulnerable communities. That experience informs a straightforward approach focused on practical problem solving and realistic goals. She has supervised and trained other social workers during her career.
In sessions she uses methods drawn from client-centered practice, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, narrative work, and solution-focused methods. That mix is used to clarify what the person wants to change and to create small, doable steps toward those changes. Sessions can be short-term and goal-focused or longer-term for working through deeper emotional material.
Thérèse emphasizes respect and a strengths-based stance. She works with people to build confidence, set clear objectives, and practice new ways of handling relationships, work, and health challenges. She offers accountability alongside emotional processing.
People who choose her often want practical tools they can use between sessions as well as time to process feelings. Sessions are conducted in English, and she accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and use a cancellable subscription model. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Thérèse commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques in online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening closely to what matters to the person and shaping goals from their priorities. It helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental place to sort out feelings and decide what to change.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and for changing patterns that keep stress and mood problems going. Mindfulness techniques are also used to build moment-to-moment attention and reduce reactivity.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. From there they decide together whether short-term, solution-focused work or deeper processing fits best, and they adjust the plan as needed.
Session format options are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current online session options before booking. The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around work and family schedules, shorter check-ins when time is limited, and avoiding travel time. These factors can make it easier to keep regular appointments and practice skills between sessions.
