Teresa Walton-Skinner , LPC

Teresa Walton-Skinner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who focuses on helping women navigate life changes, stress, and relationship concerns. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, anger, ADHD, grief, and career shifts. Teresa uses a direct but compassionate style to make conversations feel practical and down to earth.

Her sessions are warm and interactive. She listens first, then helps clients set clear, achievable goals. Teresa blends client-centered listening with cognitive approaches and solution-focused steps to keep progress steady and measurable.

She emphasizes respect and sensitivity, avoiding stigmatizing labels. Teresa adapts each plan to fit a person's values, routines, and priorities rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. That makes her approach useful for people juggling work, caregiving, or major life transitions.

Teresa has four years of counseling experience in settings that included service delivery and program development. Her practical background includes working with a wide range of concerns such as trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, workplace issues, and multicultural matters.

In sessions she will help you clarify what matters most, build coping skills, and try small changes that add up over time. If someone wants straightforward support for women's issues, self-esteem, or everyday stressors, Teresa offers a collaborative place to begin.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding so clients feel heard and respected; it helps people clarify values and make choices that fit their lives. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches practical skills for anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, actionable steps and strengths to produce change quickly in everyday problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Teresa collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and pace. She starts with listening, then tries techniques and checks in regularly to adjust the plan together.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and a fuller conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is low, live chat supports quick check-ins, and text messaging is useful for brief updates or ongoing encouragement. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and busy days while staying focused on practical progress.
