About Teresa
Teresa Fowler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan who helps people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, codependency, grief, parenting challenges, and career concerns. She works with people facing trauma, intimacy and relationship struggles, anger, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and life changes. Teresa aims to create a respectful space where clients can begin to feel stronger and more capable.
Teresa uses a person-centered and strength-based style. She listens actively and focuses on practical steps clients can take between sessions. Her work blends acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive and behavioral techniques, and client-centered principles to meet whatever a person brings to the room.
She views healing as a journey that involves the whole person - body, mind, and spirit. Sessions emphasize collaboration, honest feedback, and actions that move a person toward their goals. Teresa pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues, communication and control difficulties, and the impact of illness or caregiving stress.
Experience informs her approach. With nearly two decades in counseling, she draws on many methods to tailor support to each person. She aims to strengthen coping skills, improve daily functioning, and build resilience through clear, practical strategies.
Teresa also works with concerns related to addiction, domestic violence, blended family issues, and neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome. She offers services in English and American Sign Language and focuses on developing realistic plans that fit a person’s life.
Approaches that guide online work
Teresa often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and focus on values-driven action rather than getting stuck. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so a person can find their own direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Teresa works collaboratively to assess goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together the client and therapist try methods, review what helps, and adjust the plan as needed rather than assuming one path fits everyone.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use visual or hands-free communication methods like American Sign Language if that suits their needs. Talk with the therapist during the matching step to determine the practical arrangement that works best for everyday life and goals.
