About Tressa
Tressa Henson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 17 years of experience. She works with people coping with stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem concerns, depression, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting questions, and career or coaching needs. She also supports concerns such as chronic illness, aging issues, postpartum depression, and financial or life-purpose worries.
Her approach is practical and direct. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness Therapy alongside Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Sessions focus on clear steps to manage symptoms, skills to reduce distress, and short-term goals that feel achievable.
In practice she blends counseling and coaching skills. Conversations often include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, trying small behavior changes, and noticing what works. Mindfulness is used to increase awareness of thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed.
She has worked with adults across a range of life stages and stressors for many years. Her experience includes helping people after loss, during major life changes, and while coping with chronic conditions. Tressa aims to help clients find practical ways to handle daily challenges.
Clients begin by completing a short questionnaire and scheduling an initial session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary by location. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not accepted.
How her therapeutic approaches work for remote sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps by identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to anxiety or low mood and testing small changes to see what helps. It is useful for stress, anxiety, anger, and many day-to-day problems.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to notice thoughts and feelings without reacting immediately. This approach can help reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful social situations.
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people resolve mixed feelings about change and find their own reasons to try something different. It pairs well with goal-focused work like career steps or behavior change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss needs, goals, and preferences and help decide which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and may shift as sessions progress.
If you want to use online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in her profile. Online work can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and fit short check-ins into a busy day. It also allows focusing on practical skills and homework between meetings, so therapy can fit into everyday life.
