About Theresa
Theresa Shultz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in North Carolina with 16 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, grief, and issues related to parenting, relationships, and self-esteem. She also works with people facing ADHD, compassion fatigue, career concerns, and life changes.
Theresa draws on practical, goal-focused methods to help people manage difficult situations. She listens without judgment and speaks plainly about options for change. Sessions aim to identify clear steps and tools someone can use between meetings.
Her background includes long-term recovery from alcoholism, which informs her perspective on addiction and relapse prevention. She has worked in a variety of clinical roles over the past decade and a half, supporting people with mood disorders, trauma responses, and behavioral concerns.
Theresa uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness practices, and client-centered work. These approaches are used to reduce unhelpful patterns, increase practical coping skills, and clarify values and goals.
She encourages straightforward planning around goals, whether that means short-term problem solving or working through longer issues like grief or trauma. Theresa helps people break problems into manageable steps and track progress over time.
Sessions are conducted in English and reflect her North Carolina licensure. People who want to learn more are invited to review the online therapy options and follow the intake steps to schedule a first appointment.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and making behavior changes when feelings get in the way.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many day-to-day challenges.
Motivational Interviewing is a short-term, conversational approach that helps people find their own reasons to change. It is useful when motivation for recovery or behavior change is mixed.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Theresa will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods to use. That collaborative process may blend ACT, CBT, motivational interviewing, mindfulness exercises, or client-centered techniques depending on the issue.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are set by the therapist. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and avoid travel time. These practical benefits help therapy fit around work, family, and everyday tasks rather than requiring major schedule changes.
