About Theresa

Theresa Mayhew is an LPC with 14 years of clinical experience who helps people manage big life changes and the stress that comes with them. She focuses on practical steps to reduce anxiety and depression, manage mood shifts, and navigate grief, relationship strain, or changes at work. Her language is direct and calm, aimed at people who want clear options and helpful tools.

Mayhew draws on therapies that teach skills people can use between sessions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy helps with emotional regulation and handling intense feelings. She also blends solution-focused techniques to set concrete goals and the Gottman Method for relationship concerns.

Theresa works with a wide range of life concerns, including parenting stress, addiction, career transitions, and coping with loss. She pays attention to how mood disorders, trauma, and social anxiety affect day-to-day life and builds step-by-step plans to address them. Sessions aim to be practical, with homework and simple exercises to try between meetings.

She holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential, listed as LPC. Theresa practices in Georgia and offers services in English. International clients are accepted, and session options should be confirmed when booking.

How specific approaches translate to online sessions

Theresa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice thoughts that make problems worse and practice small behavior changes to feel better. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing stress during life transitions. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and coping skills for intense feelings; DBT skills can help with anger, mood swings, and handling relationship tension. The Gottman Method is used for relationship-focused work, offering concrete communication and conflict tools to improve interaction patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Theresa will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into busy days, makes it easier to attend during work breaks, and supports steady progress with short exercises between sessions. Theresa incorporates homework and practical tools that translate well to remote work, helping clients practice skills in everyday life without promising any specific session type.
