Theresa Farello, LPCC

Theresa Farello is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio who focuses on helping people through stress, anxiety, life changes, and struggles with thoughts and everyday habits. She speaks plainly in sessions and aims to create a warm environment where clients can share worries and try small steps toward change. Theresa brings a calm, practical presence and encourages realistic strategies that fit daily life. Theresa has five years of counseling experience. Before her current role she worked as a school counselor, a director of social services, and a part-time adjunct professor. Those roles shaped her interest in supporting people during transitions, loss, and recovery. Her work addresses a wide range of concerns, including depression, ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care, autism spectrum concerns, first responder stress, and complications related to infidelity and identity. Theresa lists thoughts and everyday habits among the areas she focuses on. Theresa draws on client-centered approaches to build trust and focus on what matters to each person. She uses practical elements of cognitive behavioral therapy to help change unhelpful thinking and habits. Emotionally-focused techniques are part of how she helps clients understand strong feelings and patterns. Theresa invites people to start small and see therapy as a step-by-step process. She aims to walk alongside clients as they try new ways of coping and rebuild motivation after setbacks. If someone wants to explore changes in thinking or daily routines, she encourages reaching out to begin that conversation.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Theresa uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person's needs and goals. That means sessions start by listening carefully and building a collaborative working relationship that reflects what matters to the client.

She also uses elements of cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and everyday habits. CBT techniques often include simple experiments, thought records, and small behavior changes that can be practiced between meetings.

Emotionally-focused work helps people name strong feelings and notice patterns in close relationships or personal reactions. That approach can be useful for resolving recurring emotional cycles and improving emotional awareness.

Finding the right approach is a process. Theresa will work with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. This is a collaborative conversation rather than a fixed prescription.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, shorten commute time, and let people try a session without rearranging as much of their day. Discuss scheduling and practical needs when you first connect to find the best rhythm for ongoing work.
