About Teresa
Teresa Longo is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, and family conflict. Teresa often supports those coping with life changes, grief, addiction concerns, and relationship or intimacy issues.
She uses plain conversation to help clients name what feels hard. Sessions focus on what the person is dealing with now and on practical steps they can try between meetings. Teresa draws on Client-Centered methods to follow the client's lead, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and Existential Therapy to address meaning and life choices.
Teresa aims to create straightforward, respectful sessions where people can talk about painful experiences without judgment. She works with issues that commonly appear together, such as trauma and depression, ADHD and anxiety, or caregiving strain alongside burnout. The emphasis is on small, manageable changes that fit into everyday life.
Over two decades she has seen a wide range of concerns, from eating difficulties and bipolar symptoms to communication problems and codependency. Teresa also helps people who identify as LGBT and addresses attachment and relationship patterns that affect how people connect.
People interested in starting will be asked to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session. Teresa practices in New York and conducts sessions in English.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Teresa uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting so the client leads the conversation and decides what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs someone to understand their perspective and to feel heard.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety or depression going and tests small experiments to change them. CBT is practical and often involves exercises to try between sessions.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Teresa will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and she will adjust the methods based on how things go. The plan is collaborative rather than fixed.
Check the session options before booking to confirm which online formats she currently offers. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can use breaks from work or school for appointments. These practical benefits can help therapy feel more manageable while exploring ways to address anxiety, social concerns, and other difficulties.
