Theresa Yucel , LPC

Theresa Yucel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Texas and Louisiana and holds a Master of Arts in Counseling from Northwestern University. She brings a decade of clinical experience working across the lifespan, including adolescents, young adults, and older adults, and has focused much of her practice on supporting people through crisis, adjustment, grief, and loss. Early in her career she worked three years in an inpatient psychiatric hospital where she gained crisis management experience, then transitioned to outpatient work with an emphasis on adult to geriatric group therapy.

Since 2015 she has practiced full time with individuals facing urgent mental health concerns as well as those navigating life changes. Her clinical interests include depression, anxiety, stress management, healthy boundary setting, and self-care, and she also works with relationships, family issues, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and identity-related challenges. Theresa approaches therapy as a collaborative partnership, prioritizing a trusting therapeutic relationship and a nonjudgmental space where clients can explore goals and recover resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Theresa often draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration so clients can explore their feelings and values at their own pace; it is helpful for building self-esteem, improving relationships, and navigating life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Theresa works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they tailor the pace and focus of sessions so therapy feels relevant and attainable.

Online therapy with Theresa is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into a busy schedule or to access support from different locations. These options provide flexibility in how and when sessions occur and allow therapists and licensed professionals to maintain continuity of care even when in-person visits are not possible.
