About Theresa
Theresa Ewing is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Illinois who focuses on concerns such as grief, anxiety, depression, stress, compassion fatigue, self-esteem, relationship and family issues, and life transitions including caregiving and end-of-life matters.
Background and approach
She also addresses intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, career concerns, ADHD, and a range of women’s health and life-stage topics. With attention to blended family dynamics, hospice and hospice-related counseling, and caregiver stress, she aims to support people navigating complex emotional and practical difficulties.
Theresa practices using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), helping clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical skills for regulation, problem solving, and healthier relationships. She draws on four years of direct clinical experience as an LCSW and prior healthcare roles to inform collaborative treatment planning.
Her approach centers on working together to create clear goals and step-by-step strategies that fit each person’s situation. Theresa welcomes the chance to discuss needs and explore ways to move forward from challenging life circumstances.
Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Support
Theresa integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into online sessions to help clients notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, using practical exercises and homework to address anxiety, depression, and stress. She also employs Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) strategies to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills useful for managing intense emotion, relationship strain, and compassion fatigue.Choosing the right method is part of the therapeutic process, and Theresa collaborates with clients to determine which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions based on what clients find most useful and adjusts plans over time through ongoing conversation and shared decision making.
Online therapy with Theresa is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats allow clients to access consistent care from Illinois without commuting, making it easier to maintain momentum while balancing caregiving, work, or health-related responsibilities.
