Theresa Kibbe , LPC

Theresa Kibbe is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with 21 years of clinical experience. She has devoted her career to working with people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, eating and food-related concerns, and challenges with motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. Theresa draws on a broad background in addressing mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder, anxiety and stress, grief and loss, family and relationship difficulties, and issues related to control, codependency, and caregiver stress.

Theresa approaches each person as the expert of their own story and seeks to build on existing strengths to support change. She emphasizes a collaborative therapeutic relationship that honors a client’s resilience while offering structure and evidence-informed techniques when helpful. Starting therapy can take courage, and Theresa recognizes that first step as meaningful; she aims to make that beginning feel supported and respectful. As a licensed counselor, she combines empathy with practical strategies to help clients navigate life changes, recover from trauma, and work toward improved well-being.

Integrating Evidence-Informed Approaches into Online Therapy

Theresa draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and reshape unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and goal oriented, and it is often used to address anxiety, depression, stress, and difficulties with motivation and self-esteem.

She also incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for clients processing traumatic memories and intense emotional reactions. EMDR uses structured processing to reduce the hold that past traumatic experiences have on present-day functioning and can be helpful for trauma and abuse recovery.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Theresa works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors treatment plans over time, welcoming client feedback and adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access care from home or other convenient locations. These options support continuity of care and allow licensed professionals like Theresa to provide consistent, responsive support across different formats.
