Theresa Mayhew

Theresa Mayhew offers practical support for people juggling career pressures, relationships, and major life changes. She focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, and managing mood swings. Theresa uses clear, hands-on strategies so people can try changes between sessions and notice real differences over time.

With 14 years of experience as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor, she brings steady guidance to conversations about trauma, depression, anger, and addiction. Theresa also addresses parenting challenges, communication problems, divorce and separation, and issues that affect someone’s sense of purpose. She frames challenges simply and avoids jargon so people can follow along easily.

Her approach draws on practical therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She also uses Solution-Focused methods and Motivational Interviewing to help clients set achievable goals and build skills. The Gottman Method informs her work around relationship patterns and communication.

Theresa prefers working together to choose the techniques that match a person’s goals. Sessions tend to focus on clear steps, skill practice, and short-term goals when that fits the situation. People often leave sessions with at least one small strategy to try in daily life.

Theresa practices in Georgia and conducts sessions in English. She accepts international clients. Before scheduling, readers should confirm current session options and subscription details through the Start Therapy flow.

How therapy approaches translate to online sessions

Theresa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; CBT often focuses on specific problems and offers concrete exercises to practice between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance, which can be useful for mood swings, anger, and overwhelming stress.

She also draws on the Gottman Method when addressing relationship communication, looking at interaction patterns and teaching clearer ways to talk and listen. These approaches are explained in plain terms and adapted to each person’s goals so the work matches what they want to change.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. Theresa will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then try strategies that make sense for the client. The first sessions often include quick skill-building and a plan for follow-up practice.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Ask about available session types when you complete the Start Therapy questionnaire. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, or let someone avoid travel while still doing the same focused skill practice with a licensed professional.
