Teresa Cole, LPCC

Teresa Cole is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California with 16 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, anger, depression, addictions, grief, parenting and related life changes. Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer communication, and manageable coping strategies.

She uses a mix of evidence-based approaches to address presenting problems. Teresa draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters and take values-guided action.

Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy inform her work on close relationships and intimacy issues. These approaches help people understand how past connections shape current reactions and build more effective ways to relate.

Teresa describes her practice as process oriented, solution based, and goal directed. She provides psychoeducation and concrete resources alongside talk work. That can mean mapping triggers, practicing new responses, or rehearsing conversations outside sessions.

She also brings experience with trauma, grief, ADHD, autism spectrum concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and career transitions. In session she combines practical tools with attention to emotions and relationship patterns. This helps people manage angry reactions, reduce recurring arguments, and make calmer choices in stressful moments.
