Theresa Farello, LPCC

Theresa Farello is an Ohio-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and big life changes. She works with individuals struggling with ADHD, addiction, grief, trauma, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. Theresa aims to make first steps feel manageable and practical for people who are worried or overwhelmed.

Theresa brings about five years of professional experience to her work. Before becoming an LPCC she served as a school counselor, director of social services, and a part-time adjunct professor. That mix of roles shaped her focus on practical problem solving and steady support during transitions.

Her approach centers on meeting people where they are. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client’s pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps address unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when feelings and connection are the focus.

Theresa often helps people rebuild motivation, manage overwhelming emotions, and cope after loss or abuse. She also supports parents navigating adoption and foster care concerns and works with people on the autism spectrum and first responder or veteran-related issues.

Sessions are aimed at clear, workable steps rather than abstract theory. Theresa invites clients to start small, set realistic goals, and practice vulnerability in a calm, respectful setting. To begin, people use the site’s Start Therapy flow to match and schedule a time to talk.

How her approaches translate to online work

Theresa integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy into her practice in ways that suit online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and following the client’s pace to help them name what matters. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and works on practical changes and skill building. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on feelings and patterns in relationships to help people understand and shift how they connect.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Theresa partners with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She will discuss options and try approaches collaboratively so clients feel involved in planning their care.

The practical benefit of online therapy is fitting sessions into everyday life. Talk therapy can be scheduled around work, school, or caregiving to reduce travel time and interruptions. If you are unsure which session setup will work for you, confirm available session options before booking so you can choose what fits your routine and technology. Online work can make regular check-ins, skills practice, and steady momentum easier to keep up with.
