About Theresa

Theresa Cloyd is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Arizona who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She uses practical therapy methods to help clients notice patterns, try new coping skills, and make small changes that add up.

Theresa builds sessions around each person’s needs. She listens first to understand what matters most, then works with people to set clear, achievable goals. Conversations are collaborative and direct, with an emphasis on skills people can use between sessions.

Her work draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. Those methods are used to address mood and personality concerns, social anxiety, and post-traumatic stress in straightforward ways. Theresa helps clients practice new responses to old problems and strengthens emotional coping over time.

Theresa has six years of experience as a clinician in Arizona. She aims to make therapy useful and relatable, avoiding jargon and focusing on what helps in daily life. People who come to her for help with life changes or low mood can expect a steady, practical partner in the process.

To begin, she guides people through a brief intake and goal-setting phase so work can start right away. Sessions emphasize real-world tools, repeated practice, and adjustments based on what is or isn’t working.

This summary is based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and tailoring sessions to what the person says matters most. In practice the therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects concerns, and helps set goals based on personal priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. It often involves simple at-home exercises, tracking thoughts and moods, and trying small behavioral experiments between sessions to reduce symptoms like low mood or anxiety.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance. This can include short, teachable techniques for grounding, emotional regulation, and better interpersonal moments that people can practice day to day.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss these methods, listen to the client’s goals, and recommend or combine approaches based on needs and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce commuting time, and allow more consistent check-ins. It also lets people use shorter or more focused sessions when needed and brings therapeutic tools into the context of everyday life.
