About Teresa
Teresa Gehman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with three decades of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship challenges. She also supports clients facing eating concerns, addiction, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting strains, and compassion fatigue. Teresa brings a calm, practical presence into sessions and focuses on clear, doable steps forward.
She often blends Attachment-Based Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to shape a plan that fits each person.
Background and approach
That means talking through what matters most to you, trying small changes, and tracking what helps. Sessions are grounded, warm, and goal-focused rather than full of jargon. Teresa has worked across many issue areas over 30 years.
Her background includes supporting people through loss, bipolar mood concerns, communication and control issues, codependency, and challenges related to aging or long-term illness. She also addresses stress for caregivers and those coping with major life transitions. Practically, she offers therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and pricing varies with location and therapist availability. Teresa practices in New York and sessions are conducted in English. To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and can schedule according to therapist availability using the Start Therapy button.

Online support
Attachment-informed and practical therapies online
Teresa blends Attachment-Based Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people understand their relational patterns and build meaningful actions. Attachment-informed work looks at how past connections shape current relationships and emotional responses. ACT focuses on identifying values and taking committed steps toward them, even when difficult feelings show up.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work focused on each person's experience. That approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and letting the client's goals guide the pace and topics of sessions. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process; the therapist and client decide together which methods fit the client's needs, goals, and preferences over time.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face connection and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited and for people who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging can work well for brief check-ins, processing between sessions, or fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make scheduling more flexible and can help therapy fit around work, caregiving, or travel.
