About Theresa
Theresa Kasman is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 15 years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and major life transitions. Theresa also lists focus areas such as attachment and abandonment issues, body image, forgiveness, and guilt and shame.
Theresa helps people clarify what they want from life. She talks through values, motivations, and practical steps to move forward. Sessions aim to turn unclear goals into manageable next steps rather than vague ideas.
Her style centers on listening and responding to each person's experience. Using client-centered ideas, she follows the person's perspective while exploring how early attachments and current choices shape feelings and behavior. She also brings existential questions into the work, helping people consider meaning and responsibility when facing change.
Theresa often addresses patterns that show up in relationships and family of origin issues. She helps people notice control issues, communication struggles, and how past abandonment can affect trust now. Work on addictions and caregiver stress typically includes looking at coping patterns and alternatives.
Practical skill-building is part of the plan when needed. That might include clearer communication techniques, grounding for anxiety, and steps to manage urges related to substance use. Theresa asks straightforward questions and supports clients as they try out new ways of relating and living.
How her approaches translate to online work
Theresa draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. This approach helps when trust, abandonment, or repeating relational dynamics show up in day-to-day life.She also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize the person's perspective. That means the therapist follows what matters to the client, asking questions and reflecting back to clarify goals and feelings.
Existential themes appear when clients face big questions about purpose, responsibility, or life direction. That work is useful for people wrestling with meaning during midlife shifts, divorce, or major changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Theresa works together with each person to decide which ideas fit best for their needs, goals, and preferences. She will check in and adjust the focus over time so sessions stay relevant and practical.
