About Thérèse
Thérèse Fletcher is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 13 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship strain. She focuses on practical, goal-oriented work and meets clients where they are. Her style emphasizes respect, strength, and collaboration.
She has spent much of her career in urban medical and social services settings. That background shaped her work with people facing life transitions, chronic illness, caregiver strain, and the emotional impact of loss. Adoption and foster care is listed among her additional focus areas.
In sessions she uses a mix of short-term problem solving and longer-term emotional processing. Clients and the therapist set clear, achievable goals together and build tools to handle stressors between appointments. She also offers accountability to support steady progress.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, narrative techniques, and solution-focused strategies. Those methods are used in straightforward ways - to shift patterns of thinking, reduce symptoms, and help people tell a different story about themselves and their choices.
Thérèse describes the work as collaborative. She aims to create a nonjudgmental space and to lift strengths so clients feel more confident. Practical skills and perspective changes are emphasized so gains last after therapy ends.
How her approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the client's perspective. Sessions focus on listening, understanding what matters most, and building goals that feel meaningful. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, respectful space to sort through emotions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It uses concrete exercises and experiments to reduce anxious or low mood symptoms. CBT is often helpful for stress, anxiety, depression, and sleep problems because it gives clear steps to try between sessions.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. It can help people manage strong emotions, improve focus, and notice patterns before they escalate.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That can mean trying short-term solution-focused steps first, or moving into deeper emotional processing over time.
Practical benefits of online therapy include greater flexibility to fit sessions into a busy life and fewer logistical barriers to attending appointments. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm which formats are offered before booking. The emphasis is on making therapy fit day-to-day routines so people can follow through with the skills and changes they want to make.
