Theresa Shultz

Theresa Shultz is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, trauma, and major life transitions. She draws on 16 years of experience to offer steady, practical support during difficult periods. Theresa writes plainly and listens carefully, aiming to be warm, direct, and nonjudgmental with each person she sees.

She describes her role as a teammate who helps clients set goals and take small steps toward them. Sessions move at the client’s pace and focus on concrete tools and strategies. Theresa emphasizes recovery work informed by her own long-term sobriety and years in clinical practice.

Theresa uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She often brings in cognitive behavioral techniques to reframe unhelpful thoughts, mindfulness practices to manage stress and grounding, and motivational interviewing to strengthen readiness for change. Client-centered principles guide sessions so people feel heard and respected.

Her background includes many roles across behavioral health settings, working with people facing depression, anger, relationship problems, and process addictions among other concerns. Theresa also supports people dealing with parenting strain, career questions, and caregiving fatigue.

Theresa works in English and does not take international clients. She asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin the process and to schedule appointments based on her availability. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How Theresa’s approaches work in online therapy

Theresa uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing stress by breaking problems into manageable steps.

She also draws on mindfulness therapy, which teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce tension and bring focus back to the present. Mindfulness can help with emotion management, cravings, and reactive anger.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Theresa will work with each person to see which methods feel most useful. She adjusts techniques to match goals, pace, and what the person prefers, so therapy is collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.

Confirm current session options before booking as the profile does not specify formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, help people check in during a work break, avoid travel time, or use lower-bandwidth options when needed. Talk with the therapist about practical preferences so sessions can be scheduled and shaped to work with everyday responsibilities.
