About Theresa
Theresa Yu is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with nine years of clinical experience. She provides clear, down-to-earth support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma, parenting strain, and mood challenges. Theresa speaks English and Mandarin and works with clients online through several flexible formats.
Her approach centers on attachment-based ideas alongside practical therapies. She blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered work to match each person’s needs.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on building understanding, developing coping skills, and trying tools that can be used right away. Theresa has worked in schools, child protective services, and behavioral health settings. That background shaped her experience with adoption and foster care, attachment issues, autism spectrum conditions, disruptive behavior, and trauma histories.
She has also supported adults with addiction, grief, intimacy concerns, and career stress. In sessions she aims to create a nonjudgmental, honest space. She listens for what matters to you and helps make a practical plan.
The work may include talking through patterns, learning new ways to respond, practicing coping skills, and getting support to make difficult changes. Theresa also draws on life experience as a parent and caregiver, which informs her understanding of family and parenting pressures.
She encourages people to try therapy and see if it feels like a good fit, and to be part of choosing goals and methods that make sense for them.

Online support
Attachment-informed and skills-based care online
Theresa often combines Attachment-Based Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online work. Attachment-informed work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helps people notice and change repeating patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values, accepting difficult feelings, and taking steps that line up with what matters most.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Theresa will talk with you about your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps. She aims to collaborate so you feel involved in choosing the pace and techniques used in sessions.
Online therapy with Theresa is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, coaching-style support, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and other commitments.
