About Teresa
Teresa Stebner is a licensed mental health counselor (LPMHC) in Delaware with 13 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, ADHD, and related life changes.
Background and approach
Teresa speaks English and accepts international clients. Teresa takes a practical, client-focused approach.
She listens first and builds on each person's strengths. She believes thoughts influence actions and that past and present both shape how someone copes now.
In sessions she connects patterns from family systems, past wounds, and current relationships. She uses that understanding to help clients see how issues like trauma, grief, or depression can relate to one another.
The aim is to give clients clearer choices about how they respond. Teresa works collaboratively to raise up each person as their own advocate.
She supports people in practicing new behaviors, trying different ways of thinking, and testing changes in everyday life. Goals and pacing are set together so the work fits each person's needs.
Her background and range of approaches let her adapt to many concerns. Whether someone brings anger, low self-esteem, caregiving stress, eating issues, or questions about life purpose, Teresa offers steady, practical support for coping and change.
How therapeutic approaches and online sessions work together
Teresa uses several practical approaches in her online work. The Gottman Method focuses on communication and interaction patterns that affect relationships and intimacy, helping people learn concrete skills for better connection. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that reflect their values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating and helps people develop more stable patterns. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Teresa treats the process as collaborative and will help figure out which methods match a person's goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions may blend approaches so the plan stays practical and relevant. Online formats offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls let the therapist and client use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, or to fit therapy into a busy schedule. These options make it easier to continue steady work even with travel, caregiving, or work commitments.Frequently asked questions
