Teresa Freeman, LCSW

Teresa Freeman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 13 years of professional experience. She helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. Teresa works with adults who want practical ways to respond differently to strong feelings and repeated patterns that cause problems at home or work.

Her approach is direct and person-focused. She uses practical methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and practice different responses. She also draws on Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas to examine how early relationships shape current reactions.

Teresa incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotion regulation and intense reactions are involved. Sessions often include learning concrete skills for grounding, distress tolerance, and communicating without escalation. She encourages short experiments between sessions to try new behaviors in everyday life.

She emphasizes clear goals and collaborative planning. Teresa helps people identify patterns that lead to anger or avoidance and then tests small changes together. People leave sessions with step-by-step practices to use during stressful moments.

Evening appointments are offered at this time. If you are ready to move toward better regulation of anger or other strong emotions, she asks prospective clients to use the site's matching process to schedule an initial session.
