About Teresa
Teresa Fernandez is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, trauma or abuse. She also supports those dealing with family conflict and communication problems.
Teresa works from the view that each person knows their own story. She looks for strengths clients already have and uses those strengths to move forward. She aims to make the first steps feel manageable and less intimidating.
In sessions she listens for what matters most and offers straightforward tools to try between meetings. Her approach draws on practical methods that focus on thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.
Teresa integrates techniques from cognitive behavioral work and dialectical behavior ideas alongside mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing. That mix is used to teach new skills, improve emotional regulation, and support better communication at home.
She has three years of clinical experience in social work settings. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Prospective clients are asked to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on therapist availability.
Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It often involves short, practical exercises and experiments to try between sessions and can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.DBT skills emphasize emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clear communication. These methods teach concrete techniques for managing strong emotions and improving interactions with others.
Teresa will work collaboratively to find the right mix of approaches for each person. She will discuss goals and preferences, try strategies in session, and adjust plans based on what is helpful. Finding the best fit is part of the process, not a one-time decision.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into a busy week. Online work can make it simpler to keep appointments around child care, school, or work breaks. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available and what will best fit your routine.
