About Theresa
Theresa Farello is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in Ohio who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and major life changes. She speaks plain, direct language and aims to make first steps feel manageable for worried parents and adults. She welcomes conversations about ADHD, autism spectrum concerns, relationship worries, grief, and recovery from difficult experiences.
Theresa brings five years of counseling experience and earlier roles in schools, social services, and higher education. That combination shaped a practical approach to everyday problems. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what can change in small, doable ways.
Theresa uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a warm, accepting space where clients can share honestly and try vulnerability. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and create step-by-step changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps when strong emotions or relationship patterns need attention.
Her work often supports parents navigating adoption, foster care, and parenting stress. She also has experience with first responder issues, veteran and armed forces concerns, hearing or visually impaired clients, and people coping with trauma, abuse, or addiction. Theresa aims to listen first, then work together to set clear, achievable goals.
If taking a first step feels hard, she encourages a simple hello. The focus is on steady progress, not quick fixes, and on developing skills that fit daily life.
How Theresa’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating acceptance and understanding. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people try sharing feelings they may have avoided. It can be especially helpful when someone needs a calm, steady space to sort through parenting stress or life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Theresa uses simple exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and to test new behaviors. This approach works well for anxiety, low mood, and issues like loss of focus or motivation.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name strong emotions and change recurring interaction patterns. When relationship patterns or intense feelings are central concerns, this approach gives a way to track what happens in the moment and try different responses.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Theresa will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust plans as progress is made.
