About Teresa
Teresa Satterfield is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - licensed in South Carolina with 15 years of clinical work. She helps people who are carrying stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and the difficulties that come with life changes.
Teresa listens for the specific ways guilt and shame affect a person's daily life. She talks through how symptoms show up in thoughts, behavior, and relationships. She uses clear, practical steps to address panic, mood shifts, and overwhelm so clients can try small changes between sessions.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to map thinking patterns and build coping skills. She also uses mindfulness practices and some elements of trauma-focused work to help with distress that comes from past experiences. Hypnotherapy is listed among her tools and may be used alongside other methods when appropriate.
Sessions focus on straightforward goals such as reducing panic, improving sleep, managing grief, and building self-trust. Teresa adapts the way she talks and plans work to each person's situation and preferences. She encourages clients to notice what is most useful and to adjust course when something is not working.
Teresa works with issues related to autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, communication struggles, control issues, dissociation, feelings of emptiness, forgiveness, intellectual disability, life purpose, and midlife transitions. She also addresses panic disorder and a range of mood-related concerns.

These approaches are explained and tried collaboratively, so the client and therapist decide together which methods fit the client's goals and comfort level.
Confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific online formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Teresa will discuss how to arrange session length and frequency to match daily routines and to support practicing skills between meetings.
