Teresa Buss, LPC

Teresa Buss is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Wisconsin with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem struggles, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, ADHD, and anger. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.

Teresa describes a practical, person-first approach. She starts by listening to what has happened and how it shows up in daily life. From there she works with people to make sense of patterns and to set clear goals for change.

Her work draws on attachment-based ideas and narrative methods to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. She also uses mindfulness practices and client-centered conversation to help people notice bodily signs of distress and try small, manageable changes. Motivational interviewing shows up in sessions when someone needs help deciding what steps to take next.

Teresa pays attention to how the body and breath affect emotion. She uses image-making and hands-on activities to help form new habits and to support emotional regulation. These methods are practical and paced to the person’s readiness.

Her background includes time supporting people in recovery from addiction and helping caregivers and parents with child-related challenges. She identifies as an LGBTQIA+ ally and says cultural understanding guides her work. People who book often begin with one session and then choose what comes next.
