About Teresa
Teresa Thiel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin who focuses on helping people regain a sense of control. She meets people where they are and works with them on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting strain, grief, anger, sleep problems, ADHD, and life transitions. Teresa listens without judgment and centers sessions on the person's own goals.
She uses a client-centered stance so clients guide the pace and topics while she offers support and gentle direction.
Background and approach
Her style aims to make difficult topics easier to talk about and to help people find practical next steps. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at feelings and patterns that shape close relationships. She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing when those approaches fit the situation.
These methods are used alongside the client-centered framework to respond to each person's needs. Teresa earned a BA in psychology from the University of Wisconsin - Madison and a MA in Community Psychology - Professional Counseling from Alverno College. She has about four years of clinical experience working with a range of concerns, including survivors of sexual assault trauma and emotional abuse.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Teresa encourages honest feedback so the work can shift as needed. She focuses on helping people develop coping skills, repair what they want to repair, and move toward a more fulfilling daily life.

Online support
How Teresa’s approaches work in online sessions
Teresa often uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and shift painful emotional patterns that show up in relationships. EFT focuses on feeling and connection, which can help when someone wants to understand reactions and improve closeness or emotional safety.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions follow the client's lead and emphasize empathy and collaboration. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone needs help finding internal motivation for change; it involves gentle, goal-focused conversations to boost readiness.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Teresa will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what actually helps the client move forward.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls let people read facial expression and tone, phone sessions work well when lower bandwidth is needed, live chat can be useful for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options offer flexibility so therapy can match practical needs and daily routines.
