Theresa Farello

Theresa Farello is an Ohio-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who focuses on helping people manage anger along with stress, anxiety, and life changes. She aims to create a warm, open space where clients can share feelings without judgment. Theresa invites people to take a first small step toward change and will walk alongside them through their journey. Theresa brings five years of professional experience to her work, including time as a school counselor, director of social services, and part-time adjunct professor. She helps people dealing with trauma, transition, and recovery, and has experience supporting those facing ADHD, autism spectrum concerns, and parenting challenges. She also addresses issues such as depression, grief, intimacy-related concerns, and addiction. In sessions she emphasizes a client-centered approach that centers the person’s experience. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Emotionally-focused ideas guide work on relationships and connection when that is relevant. Theresa describes her role as a companion on the path to healing. She focuses on practical steps clients can take between meetings, like small behavior changes or new ways to respond in tense moments. She pays attention to motivation, confidence, and coping skills so progress can extend into daily life. People who prefer straightforward, respectful conversation may find her style helpful. She works in English and practices in Ohio. If a caller wants to begin, Theresa suggests starting with a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

Approaches that guide online work and practical benefits

Theresa uses client-centered therapy to keep each session focused on the person’s goals and experience. This approach means the therapist listens carefully and adapts sessions to what the client brings up, helping people feel heard and understood.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on spotting links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps when someone wants concrete tools to manage anger, anxiety, or low mood by practicing new ways of thinking and behaving.

Emotionally-focused ideas are used when relationship patterns or attachment issues come up. This approach looks at how emotions shape interactions and helps people change patterns that keep them stuck.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Theresa will collaborate with each person to choose what fits their goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can shift as progress is made and new issues arise.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing shorter or more flexible appointment times. They can also make it simpler to keep regular check-ins and to practice skills between sessions, which supports steady progress without promising specific outcomes.
