Thérèse Fletcher , LCSW

Thérèse Fletcher is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 13 years of experience supporting people through difficult life moments. As an LCSW she is an independently licensed clinician who has worked extensively in medical and social services settings and has supervised and trained other social workers. Her career has included deep involvement with vulnerable populations in urban communities, and she brings that experience to a wide range of presenting concerns.

She helps individuals navigate relationship challenges, grief and loss, self-esteem struggles, career questions, coping with life changes, stress, anxiety, addictions, family and parenting issues, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, anger, depression, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, cancer and hospice support, caregiver stress, codependency and family-of-origin concerns, forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose and midlife transitions, money and financial worries, mood disorders, and women’s issues.

Thérèse favors a collaborative, strength-based approach that honors each person’s starting point and supports realistic goal setting. She combines short-term, solution-focused work with opportunities for deeper emotional processing so clients can build practical skills and lasting tools. Known for a respectful, nonjudgmental manner, she provides structure, accountability, and encouragement as people work toward greater fulfillment and resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Thérèse Fletcher integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Therapy into online sessions to meet a range of needs. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration so clients feel heard and supported while setting their own goals - it is helpful for relationship work, self-esteem, and life transitions. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and building practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance techniques that can reduce reactivity and support coping with grief, chronic stress, and trauma symptoms.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Thérèse works with each person to evaluate goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities, adapting methods over time so treatment stays relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit schedules, caregiving responsibilities, work commitments, and geographic distance. This range of communication options helps maintain continuity of care during life transitions and makes it easier to access support when it is most needed.
