Teresa Hess is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 10 years of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She draws on a blend of evidence-based methods - including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy - to create practical, individualized plans that address both immediate concerns and longer-term growth.

Teresa’s work also includes support for self-esteem and motivation, parenting and blended family issues, attachment and adoption-related concerns, body image, and challenges faced by first responders and young adults. Her approach extends to career and life-purpose exploration, coping with major life changes, and building resilience after natural or human-caused disasters. She brings particular attention to LGBT issues, women’s issues, workplace stress, and compassion fatigue.

Rooted in empathy and active listening, Teresa emphasizes clients’ strengths and capacity for change. She believes in helping people uncover their own resources and in tailoring sessions to each person’s needs, whether the focus is trauma recovery, relationship challenges, or developing self-love and healthier coping skills. Teresa holds a Florida license - FL LMHC MH10682 - and offers a nonjudgmental, client-centered environment for therapeutic work.

Her clinical background and varied focus areas allow her to adapt strategies to the individual, supporting both symptom relief and the cultivation of long-term wellbeing. Teresa approaches therapy as a collaborative process aimed at practical progress, increased insight, and a more balanced life.
