About Theresa
Theresa Yu is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor with nine years of clinical experience. She blends practical skills with warm, direct support so people can start making small changes right away. Theresa speaks English and Mandarin and works with people from many backgrounds who are navigating stress, relationships, parenting, grief, and trauma.
Theresa shapes therapy around what each person needs and prefers. She draws from approaches such as the Gottman Method for relationship work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, client-centered work, and cognitive behavioral techniques.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clearer communication, managing difficult feelings, and building useful coping skills. Her background includes telehealth, home-based, and office-based counseling, and experience in child welfare, special education, and behavioral health support. That history informs practical strategies for people facing trauma, adoption and foster care concerns, autism spectrum challenges, and disruptive behavior issues.
Theresa aims to offer a nonjudgmental space that also encourages honest growth. She uses tools, education, and step-by-step strategies so clients can try new responses outside sessions. Theresa will guide, support, and sometimes challenge clients as they work toward clearer relationships and steadier mood.
Outside clinical work she is a mother and a long-time foster and exchange student host, and she shares her home with several pets including therapy dogs. She accepts international clients and sees people in Oklahoma through online formats.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Theresa draws on approaches that focus on relationships, values, and practical skills. The Gottman Method offers tools to improve communication and reduce conflict in partnerships, with exercises to build emotional connection and problem-solving habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice painful thoughts and choose values-based actions, which can ease avoidance and increase meaningful engagement. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people develop more supported ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Theresa will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods so clients feel the approach fits their needs and preferences. That collaborative process helps identify which tools and exercises will be most useful between sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and interactive exercises, phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat works well for brief check-ins or coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care when life is busy or travel is required.
