About Theresa
Theresa Connelly is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with six years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, grief, low self-esteem, and life changes. Her work also covers workplace difficulties and social anxiety.
Theresa focuses on practical problem solving in sessions. She listens to what matters most and helps people build coping steps they can try between appointments. Conversations often include identifying patterns, testing small behavior changes, and practicing mindfulness techniques that fit daily life.
She also addresses challenges that come from caregiving and aging. People dealing with hospice and end-of-life issues, caregiver stress, or the emotional side of fertility concerns can bring those topics into sessions. Theresa pays attention to how family roles and communication affect wellbeing.
When trauma and abuse are part of a person’s history, she uses trauma-focused methods alongside client-centered work. That means a pace set by the client and repeated review of what helps, including skills to manage intense emotions and grounding practices.
Theresa’s approach is straightforward and collaborative. She works with each person to set clear goals and practical steps. Sessions aim to reduce immediate overwhelm while building strategies for longer-term coping and meaning.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and preferences. In practice this means the therapist follows the client’s lead, asks about what matters most, and adjusts pacing to match comfort and readiness. It is useful for stress, self-esteem, and life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Online sessions can include short experiments, thought records, and homework to test new ways of responding to anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy adds brief attention and breathing practices that people can use between sessions to reduce reactivity.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Theresa will discuss goals, try methods that seem likely to help, and change course if something isn’t working. That collaborative process helps tailor techniques to the client’s day-to-day life.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats she currently offers before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets therapists use worksheets, guided exercises, and real-time coaching on skills in the moment.
