Teresa Walton-Skinner, LPC

Teresa Walton-Skinner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia. She aims to make the first step toward help feel safer and more manageable for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, or trauma and abuse.

Her style is warm and interactive. Sessions focus on respectful, nonjudgmental conversation. Teresa avoids stigmatizing labels and listens for what matters most to each person.

Teresa combines client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral tools and solution-focused ideas. That means she centers the conversation on the person first, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and works toward small, practical changes that fit daily life.

She has four years of experience that include service delivery and program development across diverse settings. Teresa has worked with people dealing with anger, grief, ADHD, caregiver stress, workplace issues, and challenges around life purpose and self-worth.

In sessions she tailors the plan to what a person needs right now. Conversations may include goal-setting, thought and behavior strategies, and steps to manage stress or improve communication. Teresa emphasizes collaboration so people feel involved in their path forward.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Teresa uses client-centered, cognitive behavioral, and solution-focused ideas to guide sessions. Client-centered therapy centers the conversation on the person's needs and values, helping build trust and clearer goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, or stress reactions. Solution-focused therapy emphasizes small, practical steps and quick goal-setting to create change and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Teresa collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time based on what helps most, so the plan can shift as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy day and keeping momentum between appointments. Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm the available options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to attend regularly, reduce travel time, and allow therapy to be scheduled around work, caregiving, or school commitments.
