About Teresa
Teresa Cole is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 16 years of experience. She draws on attachment-based ideas to help people understand relationship patterns and the ways early connections affect current stress and closeness. Teresa works with adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strains, parenting stress, addiction concerns, and career or life changes.
Her style is practical and straightforward. She listens first, then helps identify small, useful steps clients can try between sessions.
Background and approach
Teresa blends talk therapy with skills practice so people leave sessions with tools for managing strong emotions and difficult conversations. Teresa has worked with people dealing with grief, intimacy-related worries, abandonment feelings, and attachment issues. She also supports those managing chronic illness, caregiver stress, and life after separation or divorce.
Her background includes helping people in LGBT communities and first responders cope with workplace strain. Therapy sessions move at the client’s pace. Teresa focuses on goals clients name - reducing anxiety, improving communication, rebuilding trust, or finding direction after loss.
She offers coaching-style feedback when helpful and teaches coping strategies rooted in cognitive and emotion-focused approaches. Teresa provides services in California and conducts sessions in English. She accepts only clients within the United States and works online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

Online support
Online therapy using attachment and action-focused methods
Teresa commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how past and present relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people notice repeating behaviors, understand emotional triggers, and practice new ways of connecting. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values, accepting difficult feelings, and taking steps that match what matters most.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Teresa works with each person to see which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they try strategies, check what helps, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face when they want deeper interaction. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging support ongoing coaching, quick check-ins, or written reflections between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
